“I grew up in Fargo, North Dakota. In America in the 60’s, the generation of baby boomers, we had a lot of freedom.

WeContinue reading “Greg”

We would just travel around South Australia, up north, to Broken Hill, Oodnadatta, the Rock, places like that. We travelled in the car and drove around everywhere. I enjoyed the travelling very much because IContinue reading “Korelle”

“I am six years old and was born here. Mum and Dad are from the USA and I’ve been there maybe a couple of times, but I don’t really remember it. Because we can’t visit right now, I miss my grandparents. I remember going to a house with a statue of the three little pigsContinue reading “Kiva”

“I came over here in ‘83 with Mom and Dad; I think I was 18 or 19 then. I just finished my first-year pre-vocational trade course at Maleston and I didn’t have any work. I came over to KI for probably four or five months and then I had a job opportunity up in theContinue reading “Jonny”
