She taught for several years afterwards but it was only a matter of time before she decided to follow her true passion of acting.

Before joining H&A full time in 1993 Lynne had written, choreographed and performed in numerous productions, from comedy and drama to cabaret and musicals, both on television and on stages across Australia. In 1989 she performed with “The Natural Normans” at the Edinburgh Fringe in the Perrier Award nominated “Dog’s Breakfast”.

Lynne has been a guest storyteller for the CBeebies “Story time” children’s programme and also came runner up on the 14^th season of Dancing with the Stars. Lynne is also a regular guest host on The Daily Edition on the Seven network. She has received critical acclaim for her stage roles in Harold Pinter’s “The Lover” and “Honey”, an award winning play based on Bryce Courtney’s Smokey Joe’s Cafe. Most years at Christmas, Lynne travels to England to perform in pantomime.

She is a proud ambassador for Save Our Sons (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy), Childfund Australia and is a devoted supporter and ambassador for the Sydney Swans.
