Lyrella Couzens is likely best known to people in the Territory as the ABC radio presenter and producer.
Humidity and sunshine are two of the first things Lyrella fell in love with when she arrived in the Northern Territory.
Embracing the tropics and its lifestyle, Lyrella enjoys exploring the great outdoors camping, as well as less strenuous activities like book club, netball and running, lots of running.
Running after two teenagers, running a household, running late, and trying to remember if she's fed the cat.
Lyrella hails from the seaside town of Lakes Entrance in Victoria's self-proclaimed 'Gippsland Riviera'.
Her interest in radio began at 15, playing her dad's 70s vinyl on Saturday afternoons at Lakes Community Radio. After university and quite a stint backpacking, Lyrella returned to Australia determined to get a job in radio.
She completed a post-graduate diploma in media then landed a radio job in Deniliquin, NSW. From 1998 to 2002, Lyrella worked for a number of commercial broadcasters across Victoria before landing her first gig with the ABC on the Sunshine Coast.
Love led Lyrella to the Northern Territory, where she continued her radio career in commercial radio before joining ABC Radio Darwin as a producer and presenter in 2011.
Lyrella discusses her upbringing, her early life and the road that lead her to Darwin almost 20 years ago.
