Lorna Henstridge, Australia’s oldest woman, doesn’t know what inspired her to live a long life.

But she says exercising regularly is no problem.

The 110-year-old grandmother from South Australia enjoys being active and interacting with people.

Last month, Ms. Henstridge became the oldest person in Australia.

She was born on June 6, 1914, in Adelaide.

She spent her early days on her parents’ farm in Yorke Peninsula.

Her father would take her to school on horseback and catch the train with her.

She eventually moved to Adelaide to be with her grandmother.

She then enrolled at St. Peters Girls’ School and Unley School.

In 1945, she met her husband while she was working at a military library during World War II.

They then lived in the Victor Harbor area before settling in Keith, South Australia.

Mavis Turner is the second oldest person in the country, residing at Encounter Bay in South Australia.

She will turn 110 years old next week.

The country’s oldest individual was identified as Christina Cock, who died in 2002 at 114 years old.
