Romy Gilbert

@dylanarvela Right back atcha. See you round the traps with a baby on my hip. Pls holla if you’re ever in Milton /dulla!

@GilbertRomy You’re a legend. Good luck. Enjoy.

I am taking a year off from news reporting after six (relentless?) years. It’s been a while ride since I started out in Tamworth amid a global pandemic. I am off to give motherhood a crack - any tips? Go on, I know you have some. Turning the news off now. (As if).

@mortontomster Thank you Tom! From sitting in your class to going on mat leave… it’s a funny thing life. I appreciate the sage advice. Hope you are doing well!

Good luck Romy! I can’t give you any tips on motherhood 😉, but on parenthood…be prepared to give up control! And most important of all…enjoy every moment you can, you blink and suddenly they’re grown up.

@UnionsShoalhav1 Thank you (Pat?) !!!

@GilbertRomy All the best Romy enjoy your year

@nickpmclaren Thank you wonderful Nick McLaren! See you for a coffee after a wave at bendy sometime!

@GilbertRomy Romy you will be greatly missed. But such a great opportunity to recharge your batteries!! Parenthood? Try not to stress & enjoy every moment. Make sure you have baby related health services - this can be essential in regional areas. Eg. Tresillian. They are so excellent.

@GilbertRomy The best pink suits in the business! Enjoy 💘💘💘

I can’t believe I need a premium account to fix my “while ride” typo. You know what I mean.

@nickpmclaren I thought you retired?

Looks like Andrew Constance, the former NSW Transport Minister & Liberal candidate for Gilmore is in a spot of bother at Shoalhaven City Council. abc.net.au/news/2026-02-1…

Sydney bushwalker bitten twice by a giant brown snake, pressure bandage applied, anti-venom arrives from hospital in 45 minutes. Lucky to be alive. abc.net.au/news/2025-12-3…

@BurfittPenny And we can’t waaaaaait to have ya home! Big stories ahead.

My second post in a year! To announce I’m very, very, VERY excited to be returning to ABC Illawarra in a permanent position after a wonderful year in comms land at Navitas. I’ve missed regional news, even the pigeon mishaps.

"Andrew Constance, who campaigned against Labor's renewable energy platform, has conceded defeat, admitting Australians have spoken on the energy transition and his party needs to be "pro-environment". @GilbertRomy #auspol abc.net.au/news/2025-05-0…

Antony Green callas it for Labor at 8.27pm. Here at ALP HQ for Gilmore in Currarong lots of celebrations 🥳

@dylanarvela How blooody good was it

A Complete Unknown. Bobby Dylan.

Manildra Group put on notice after documents reveal dozens of dangerous injuries at its Bomaderry plant prior to a dramatic grain silo collapse. Great story by @GilbertRomy abc.net.au/news/2025-02-0…

This is such a sad story. Update on Ulladulla man Blake D'Ombrain who broke his neck and injured his spine after jumping off a jetty into a sandbank on New Year's Eve. abc.net.au/news/2025-01-0…

A multi-agency search has failed to locate a fisherman missing off Windang Island, near Wollongong. abc.net.au/news/2025-01-0…

So glad this absolute gun of a court reporter has been recognised and celebrated for her hard and brilliant work covering the worst of the worst. @gracecrivellaro

@nickpmclaren This is horrific

Another day, another koala killed by a car south of Sydney

Three silos with around 2,500 tonnes of grain have split open at Manildra’s Bomaderry plant…. Wheat be pourin into the Shoalhaven River. I hitched a ride on a boat and took some 🤳📸
