Gloria has lived in Manapouri for nearly sixty years. One of only a handful of residents, she left Dunedin to join her husband, George Lindsay, who worked for several years as guide and launchmaster for Les Murrell's small tourism operation on Lake Manapouñ and Doubtful Sound. It was eventually taken over by Les Hutchins and became the starting point for the successful company, Fiordland Travel Ltd. In her interview Gloria tells of her early life in Dunedin and what it was like moving to Manapouri and bringing up a young family there. Gloria and her husband opened a shop in Manapouri and Gloria went on to work as the secretary at the Manapouri District High School where she also taught commerical studies. When the school closed she transfered to the new high school in Te Anau, Fiordland College where she worked until 1982. She completes her interview by discussing the changes she has seen in Manapouri and talking about George, who died in 1990.
