As long as I can remember, the only thing that fills my brain are words, and ever since starting school and falling in love with rhyming iambic pentameters, I have been writing "old-fashioned" poetry! This collection has been garnered and put together from hand-drafted papers and (my sister having taught me how to type so that she could read my scrawl!) from a life's collection of typed manuscripts.
A historical thriller about the ending of apartheid
This second volume of Dunera Lives presents the voices, faces, and lives of 20 people, who, together with nearly 3000 other internees from Britain and Singapore, landed in Australia in 1940. All over the world there were Dunera Lives, those of men and women who passed through the upheavals of the Second World War and survived to tell the tale. Here are some of their stories.
Set against the backdrop of 1932 Sydney, the narrative begins with the historic broadcast by Conrad Charlton as the bells of the General Post Office ring out. This moment marks a significant development in Australian media history, highlighting the emergence of the Australian Broadcasting Commission. The story captures the excitement and cultural impact of radio broadcasting, reflecting on how such innovations connect the nation and shape public life.
