High on a hill in Portland's Dutton Way, about four hours' west of Melbourne, Ms Matuschka's home overlooks verdant green fields with breathtaking views of the Southern Ocean.
During winter she's in prime position to watch as the region's southern right whale cow and calf pairings frolic near the shore, while summer brings its own ocean-side delights.
