The couple will officially mark the milestone of their happy union, in mid-September.
They featured in the Illawarra Mercury 10 years ago, when they celebrated their 60th anniversary.
Now a decade later, they are proving that longevity in marriage is well and truly something to be proud of.
The pair previously lived at Loftus, Hurstville and Kiama, before they moved to Peakhurst where they currently live.
They met at a Sunday School in 1950 at Burwood.
They have three children - all of them daughters, plus they have seven grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
When asked to reveal their secret to a long and happy marriage, they said the same thing: "it's all about give and take."
As for what qualities they most admire in each other, Warwick said he admired Bunty's patience, her achievements in home making, sewing and her "excellent cooking."
Bunty said that she admired Warwick's faithfulness, his Christian values, that he has been a hard worker and good provider.
They have also travelled to 27 countries together in their retirement years including China, the UK, Europe and North America.
