Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on August 17, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Shane Porteous! From diagnosing mysterious ailments in Wandin Valley to winning hearts (and a Silver Logie!) as the beloved Dr. Terence Elliott on "A Country Practice," you've truly mastered the art of bedside manner—both onscreen and off.

Your twelve-year run brought us laughter, tears, and unforgettable moments that still resonate today. Whether dealing with quirky patients or navigating small-town drama, your charm never needed a second opinion!

Here's wishing you another year filled with joy—and fewer fictional medical emergencies! May your birthday be happier than Esme Watson at an all-you-can-eat bake sale. Cheers to many more timeless adventures ahead!
