Moule and her husband, Gavin, moved to Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula from the Melbourne suburb of Coburg in 2021 after they were both able to partly work from home during the pandemic, and they’ve continued working from home since then. Proceeds from the sale of their city property paid for a huge chunk of their new home, which they want to knock down and rebuild.
