Readers Respond: What’s one thing on your bucket list you're proud you've done?

Everyone has a bucket list full of things they want to do, see or experience before they die.

For some, it’s something sweet, like starting a family and for others it’s challenging themselves and their limits.

We asked our Over60 readers about their proudest accomplishment they’ve ticked off their bucket list, and the answers did not disappoint.

Lynn Taylor- Snorkelled in the Great Barrier Reef I can't swim & I am claustrophobic a fabulous tour guide supported me to do it. Amazing & unforgettable.

Elaine Ralph- Got my Motorbike License at 50, ridden most of Australia. Also been in a Hot air Balloon.

Bill van Nierop- Paddled a kayak from Albury NSW down Murray river to Wellington with less than 50% lung function and an old mate supporting in a tinny. Raised $100k for research on the way

Colleen Mccombe- Had three children I’m very proud of and love.

Pam Garmony- Trek to Mt Everest Base Camp return. Actually went up to 5,500 metres. Glad I did it in 1999.

Jeanette Edwards - Not a bucket list. But one of the best things was Skydiving with my son who is a skydiver and his beautiful wife who is no longer with us filmed it all she made it so special it was one of the best moments in my life and I will never forget it.

Susan Hamlin Bye- Obtained my Masters Degree in my 50's! With Distinction!

Christian Hansen- Parachute jump, white water rafting, zip lining, too much more to list, in many areas of my life I've been blessed

Sue Hall- Walked over a slate bridge knowing that I would have to return! I am scared stiff or being able to see below my feet!
