The couple originally started holidaying in Port 25 years ago and decided to make the Douglas Shire their full-time home in 2021.

“I don’t believe we have ever had a cross word in 50 years,” Mr Pimlott said.

“Three boys, three daughters-in-law and seven grandkids later, we must be doing something right,” he said.

After dating for three years, the big day on Saturday 4 October 1975, was held at the Scots Church, Melbourne, followed by the reception at The Victoria Hotel.
