The Book that stole 2011

Posted on by wotif

The Book that Stole 2011. When I first decided to write the in-depth stories behind the 2011 Toowoomba and Lockyer Valley floods I had no idea what was awaiting me. My own personal journey from beginning to end would provide at least ten near-catastrophes that needed to be overcome, which concluded in a nail-biting last 24 hours trying to get the manuscript to the printer. I invite you to go back to that year while I take you through the highs and lows of being an oral historian.

Duration 47.33

Written and Narrated by: Breanda Cross

The Good Die Young

Posted on by wotif

The Good Die Young is a personal tribute to a good friend, a wonderful person, an incredible artist, and a heroic soldier.  As the world is thrown yet again into the chaos of war, we should pause a moment for those who have sacrificed their lives in other combats. While this story is about one man, he represents so many who suffered before him, after, and will do so in the coming months.   Sometimes we do not see their pain, yet in this case, the mental and physical suffering was captured and conveyed in 23 sketches which – once seen – will never be forgotten.  Please go to https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C229056
