Annie Hawke doesn t like to be called the matriarch of Avalon Beach, but she is one of its oldest residents.
The 91-year-old former teacher is happy to be called the area s mother having lived in the suburb on Sydney s northern beaches for more than half a century.
Over that time, from the wooden deck of her tree-encircled home, she has seen the area change from a little hippy village to the affluent suburb it is now.
