Identical Twins – Jean & Doris

Doris & Jean

“Australia’s Oldest

Identical Twins!”

100 years

Taigum, Qld

(originally Coolum

Beach, QLD)

Jean (twin)

Best thing about being a twin: “Always

have company.”

What changes have you noticed growing

up together? “I have thin straight hair

and Doris has thick hair with a kink in

it. I was good at music, the violin, the

piano and ballet. Doris couldn’t dance

but she excelled at elocution and was an

interstate hockey player. We are both strict

vegetarians, both liked hockey and cats,

have never been married and have followed

the cricket for a long, long time.”
