Mrs Olive Riley, known as the world's oldest blogger, passed away on July 12th. With a little help of her friend Mike Rubbo, Olive Riley began blogging at the age of 107. Amazing, isn't it?
Mrs Riley was born in 1899 in Broken Hill, an Outback town in the far west of New South Wales. Even if she left the town in 1920, she had been always proud of her home town.
Queen Victoria still reigned over Great Britain, and Australia was not a nation she she was born. Can you imagine how many wonderful stories this old lady had to tell the world? She had a brilliant memory until her last days. One of her friends said her memory was like a hard drive.
Mrs. Riley's blog was well received around the world. She became famous at the age of 107. Everyone loved her, and she'll be missed a lot. Rest in peace Olive Riley.
Due to the overwhelming demand Olive's blog is mostly down at the moment.

That is sad news. I thought it was great that she took up blogging at that age and did it so well too.
I wonder who has now taken over her place as the world's oldest blogger?
Sueblimely, it is believed that 96-year-old Maria Amelia Lopez from Spain is now the oldest blogger.
Nicely done. Witty words, killer photos. I've been to your page before but it's been a long time so I have bookmarked your address so I can come back and check in on you when I have the time. I do believe we share some interests. Like you, I am a big fan of classic rock and Aussie adventures...
