This story was shared by Bardi storyteller and navy veteran Ron Bradfield. Ron’s story is about how a chance meeting with a stranger led to a trip down memory lane into the multicultural heritage and harmony of Broome in the 1950s.
This story was recorded at the Chinese Moon Lantern Festival in the Scarborough Community Hub, September 2023. It was made possible with funding from the Australia Communities Foundation.
