Rosie & Adele Archer – Almost A Century of Stories

Rosie & Adele Archer – Almost A Century of Stories

The BRAVE podcast series is a Townsville Community Information Centre initiative that aims to share the inspiring stories of ordinary people from our local community.

At almost 100 years old, Rosie Archer has a treasure trove of tales about life in remote communities tucked away in the recesses of her mind. The ones captured in this episode about growing up during the war years and supporting the community through various avenues surely make up only a tiny fraction. Rosie is fiercely independent, still living at home, so we also speak with her and her daughter Adele about why that’s important, especially in remote communities.

BRAVE is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

This project is produced by Damien Lawardorn.
