About
DetailsThis is a transcript of an audio recording of an interview with Phil Fishburn of 10 Fishburns Road, Galston in 1982. Phil was 73 years old. The interviewer was Mark Tedeschi, a resident of Fishburns Road at that time. The original transcription was made by Judy Budden, revised by Rolf Wood in 2023. The audio file is held by the Dural & District Historical Society.
Trigger warning: the language used in this interview reflects the societal view of many rural residents who were born in the early 1900s (or earlier). Some terms used in this interview are considered racist in this era and some comments about First Nations people are from the modern perspective, shocking. However, in the spirit of maintaining the accuracy of historical narrative and truth-telling, this transcript has been left as it was spoken, in 1982. We may not condone all historical attitudes and events but I believe that we should not edit history.
