Have you ever wondered how your family's past could shape your identity today and our country’s future? 

Join us as we embark on a captivating journey through the annals of Australian history, unearthing long-hidden secrets and stories that have remained shrouded in mystery for generations.  As amateurs in genealogy and history, we, Peter and Greg, have taken on the challenging task of tracing our family roots using tools like Ancestry.com and Trove to uncover our ancestors' tales.  From their arrival in Australia between 1820s and 1870s to their roles in pivotal historical moments like the Black War in Tasmania and the Gold Rushes, their stories are woven into the fabric of the nation’s development.

This podcast is more than just a history lesson; it's a vibrant tapestry of personal anecdotes and historical narratives.  We delve into the triumphs and challenges faced by our forebears, including the stories of resilience during the Great Depression and the groundbreaking achievements such as of Australia’s first registered female architect.  Listen as we reflect on how these stories continue to shape our identities and communities and join us as we bring the past to life with humour, insight, and a few unexpected twists. 

Whether you’re a history buff or simply love a good yarn, there’s something here for everyone. Tune in and discover the legacy of our ancestors in a way you’ve never heard before.
