An Australian woman renowned as the world's oldest blogger has died at the age of 108. Her last post described her ailing health but also how she still sang a happy song every day.
Olive Riley, of Woy Woy about 50 miles north of Sydney, began blogging in February last year, sharing stories from her life during the two world wars, raising three children on her own, and working as a station cook in the outback.
The physically frail but mentally alert Riley won an international audience with her blog, The Life of Riley and series of videos posted on YouTube with her talking and singing.
