Another World

I'm transcribing my Grandpa's diaries - all 6 decades of them. And in the front of each, there's a piece where he wrote notes about the year before.

This is 1941, and he talked about what he's been doing since he arrived in Australia 14 years before.

Amazing how this kind of life change can make on a person.

What a great treasure.

What an absolutely fascinating project. How lucky are you. This page alone is so interesting and you have 6 decades. Enjoy! Fav.

@johnfalconer @susiemc thank you both for your lovely comments. There's a member of the family who wants to split up the full collection just so he can get his name in the paper. But nobody but my immediate family knows who got these diaries.

Once they're finished, Mum and I will publish them in real book form and each family member will receive a copy. The original diaries are going to the Queensland State Archives.

@mozette Sounds like a good plan. Keep those diaries together at all costs.
