| Keith and Juanita Shang |
Keith and Juanita Shang tell a fascinating story about their life together. Keith, who turns 91 this year, tells us about his life as a Chinese Australian. Juanita gives us her perspective as his wife and also as the descendant of a family with a very interesting history including Red Coats and overseas battles.

| Mildred Goldsmith |
Ninety-six year old Mildred Goldsmith tells us about her life in the area. She remembers very clearly the way things were in her childhood and brings us through her life to her current honours as a Professor of Ikebana. We were able to capture her delight in the events of her life as she generously shared her story.

| Leon and Dudley Byquar remember family members. |
Brothers Leon Johnson and Dudly Byquar reminisce about life as children on Plantation Island Road. They recall the last of the original Kanaka men who lived in the area and tell us about their life going to school and later working in the cane fields of Nikenbah and beyond.
All these oral history recordings will be available on the libraries' youtube site
