Her own story “Life to the Limit’ tells the story of a courageous woman sharing her knowledge and experience in pursuit of life’s fulfilment.
More about Bev Brock OAM
After enduring more than her fair share of ups and down u including the heartbreaking public separation from racing-car legend Peter Brock, and the messy legal battle that left her flat broke.
Bev continues to celebrate life with inimitable wit, warmth, honesty and optimism. Life to the Limit is her story, and a lesson in not just coping with crises but in turning adversity into triumph.
It has been said of Julianne that her brain can be either like a Ferrari without a muffler, or like a clapped-out VW with flat tyres.
She has created and organised national launches and press coverage in her role as a publicist, television presenter, and also community events. Julianne says “The secret of my success as a publicist is avoiding agents and accosting media personalities in the washing powder section of the local supermarket”.
She attributes her longevity in the television industry to being willing to play second string to the Stars…and being very, very nice to camera and lighting crew.
Along with Mark Lynch, award – winning cartoonist, Julianne has been involved with the publicity and co-authoring of the original “Barbecues for Blokes”. Another hit was the sequel, “More Barbies for Blokes” followed by “Cocktails and Mock-Tales”.
More fun stuff: She directed and produced (read: bossed everyone around) an exercise DVD for the Holland America Cruise Lines… while on a cruise.
Julianne presented over 1,000 television segments for products and services ranging from men’s bald-spot coverage products to promoting women’s health and wellbeing through diet, exercise and a positive attitude… and many subjects in between. .
She has appeared on most national morning TV including ‘Good Morning Australia’ (with Bert Newton), ‘Denise’, and ‘Getaway’- where an old 707 was towed in so that Mark and Julianne spill the ‘gos’ on QANTAS shenanigans.
In her catwalk career at the Sheraton Wentworth, Julianne assures us that she only tripped twice and fell once, but still went on to become Miss New South Wales, acting as spokesperson for The Spastic Centre.
Julianne loves her sports. She is a former National medallist in marathon swimming and lifesaving at a branch level. She attributes her success in ‘medalling’ to selecting events nobody in their right mind would attempt, and in age groups where the other competitors are mildly infirm.
Julianne lives in Avalon, NSW australia and her hero is her GP Paul Klemes, who never missed a beat in his care for Julianne during the COVID-19 outbreaks. “We forget our GPs sometimes. They too are our first responders.”
Her greatest love is her son Sam.
Julianne is donating all profits from this book to The Black Dog Institute for Mental Health and Research. She hopes to donate more of her time to the Institute, and has completed courses in neuroscience and psychopathology from Harvard University’s Summer School.
