Bradfield; and an oral history on Union Leaders. Two other oral history projects, Sydney Harbour Bridge Builders, and Australians at Work – Tram and Bus Workers, are still only available on indexed unedited and edited tapes in library folders. When time is appropriate (and funds are available) it is hoped to produce transcripts and books of these, and to extend the series to other trades and professions. A lifetime job which started while researching and writing The Proud Arch: The Story of Sydney Harbour Bridge, with David Ellyard for Channel 10 and Bay Books, for the 50th anniversary of the Old Coathanger.
