Shucking 600 oysters all in a day's work for Suvi Selenge as she fulfilled life wish to own her own business

For five years as owner of the iconic Oyster Barn in Ceduna, South Australia, it was nothing for Suvi Selenge to shuck 50 dozen oysters — that's 600 oysters — every day.

She started work before 4am, or 3am on busy days, heading home 16 hours later, sometimes with a daily tally of 60 dozen oysters shucked.

Ms Selenge is from Mongolia and moved to Australia in 2014 after meeting her future husband, Peter Tully, who was in her home country setting up mines.
