Aussie Olive Riley, World's Oldest Blogger and Youtube User

Born in 1899 well before Australia as a federation exists, the great-grandmother Olive Riley is turning to 108 years old this October, but the age and lack of computer knowledge can not defer her to be a blogger and also a youtube user.

AT 107 she is probably the world's older blogger and cyber granny Olive Riley may also lay claim to being the oldest YouTube user.

From her home on the Central Coast, the great-grandmother of seven files her The Life of Riley blog (or blob as she calls it), which has won her thousands of fans across the world.

Mrs Riley was born in 1899 in Broken Hill when Australia as a federation did not exist and NSW was still a British colony ruled by Queen Victoria.

She survived two World Wars and the Great Depression, witnessed the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, raised three children and worked any number of weird and wonderful jobs, including as an egg sorter and a station cook in western Queensland.

Watch below her YouTube film Olive Riley Returns to Broken Hill.
