Bega is famous for Barbara

My Grandmother is the Bega Cheese lady :)

Barbara Hazelgrove starred in a commercial filmed for Bega Cheese factory. Barbara was born in England and moved out to Australia with her then husband Peter Pike. They settled in Australia and ran many businesses, including a rabbit farm and poultry farm in Sydney as well as a fish and chip shop in Werri Beach (near Gerringong) in New South Wales, Australia.

Barbara then moved to Burragate (partway between Bega and Eden) before settling in Bega over twenty years ago. She travels all over the world but always comes home to Bega - where she is a bit of a local celebrity and Justice of the Peace.

At the end of the Bega Cheese commercial you can hear Barbara say 'but Bega is famous for Bega', referring to the cheese she is holding in her hands in the next frame.
