Phyllis Klupp - a foot in both worlds

As part of our oral history series based on the theme of Having a Voice we interviewed Phyllis Klupp. Phyllis, although not originally from Maryborough, has spent many years working with children in the community. Phyllis was originally from Nowra, New South Wales.

When she first came to Maryborough she worked at Unndennoo Kindergarten. She later was employed at Maryborough Central State School as a Home School Liaison Officer. Phyllis spoke of her young life moving around a lot, as her parents worked in seasonal jobs.

She tells us about her life as one of nine children. Phyllis talks to us about her experiences as an Aboriginal women. A range of topics are covered. These include the racism that she has experienced,  the wonderful friendships she has made through her church and with the local Aboriginal community and her experiences growing up. Her oral history clip will be screened during Women's Week 6th to the 10th of March, 2017 at the Maryborough Library.
