Listen to interviews from the Local History Archive of Connected Libraries. Conducted by Debbie Stephan, former Historical Officer (for the City of Berwick, then City of Casey), and Berwick Secondary Students, the interviews have been digitised from the original audio tapes. All interviews are available with permission from the interviewees and the Local History Archive of Connected Libraries, which holds the original tapes.
