FROM growing up in New Zealand, to travelling as a nanny for the rich and famous, Oxley’s Bridget Fitzpatrick has seen much of the world, but it’s the views from the summits of our local mountain trails which have provided inspiration for her new venture. With a life-long love of the outdoors, Bridget has always wanted to add hiking to her list of hobbies. “I’ve always wanted to get into hiking but never had anyone to do it with,” she said. That all changed when she met Scott and Jen Arnott through her current job at Northeast Health Wangaratta and learned they’d got engaged at the top of Feathertop. “I grew up in New Zealand and attended the Rangi Ruru Nanny School, graduating with a Distinction,” said Bridget. “I spent the next 18 years working for famous families, taking care of their newborns and specialising in the first 12 weeks of life,” she said. “I’ve lived in London, Scotland, Belfast, Geneva, Norway, Los Angeles and New York.”
