00:02After passing a milestone most of us will never reach, David Edwick's 100th birthday
00:09is already in the rear vision mirror.
00:11I just love driving, I've been lucky to be able to drive everywhere where I go and things
00:19like that, get around, inside the house, gardening, I just love it, yeah.
00:26Born on the same day as Sir David Attenborough in 1926, the Esperance great-grandfather also
00:35shares a love of life with the icon.
00:38The former post office master learned early the benefits of being a people person.
00:45It can be a good mixer, it makes a big difference.
00:48Happy birthday!
00:50Volunteering for community groups like Rotary, the Masons and the Miniature Railway in Esperance,
00:57all ways of staying connected.
01:00Do you want to hop in your guard seat and I'll get in the engine seat?
01:05Oh, I thought I was going to sit on your lap.
01:08Unaided by a walking stick, David Edwick is an active gardener, despite his steep block.
01:15And we've got to get down here and clean up to keep it going.
01:20Well, while we can keep Dad in his own home, we will, he's going well.
01:24Jan Creeden keeps an eye on her father, who lives by himself.
01:29Always has been very active, both Mum and Dad were very, very active.
01:34We just hope we're going to be like Dad when we get to 100, if we get there.
01:37Just sheer luck, that's all it really is, yeah.
01:42Driven by a love of people.
