The aim and objective of this site is to capture and preserve an insight into the people and history of South Australia which can be shared as an online resource to globally promote the region and it’s heritage. These stories have been recorded and produced by Christian Teusner / The EMU Tree, www.theemutree.com
Many hours of interviews are captured featuring and celebrating the men and women who have served their country from WWII to present day and regional individual life journeys here in SA. This is a personal insight into their experiences, challenges and triumphs.
