They welcomed their first child, Sally Taylor, on their first wedding anniversary.
“Having our first born on our first anniversary was very exciting, I can still remember it clearly,” Mrs Hill said.
The couple went on to have three additional children, two girls and a boy.
“One’s in Mildura, one’s in Longreach and one’s in Rockhampton,” Mrs Hill said.
When Mrs Hill was asked the secret to a long and happy marriage, Mr Hill – a former stock agent – chimed in with, ‘I was never home’.
But Mrs Hill chalked up 60 years of wedded bliss to ‘give and take’.
“That’s a big lesson for everyone to learn,” she said.
“We’ve been fortunate to have good health and to travel.
“We’ve seen lots of Australia together, which is a real bonus.”
And what first attracted Mrs Hill to Mr Hill all those years ago?
“His looks, of course,” she said.
