Personal stories from the Soldier Settlement Schemes after WWII.
This radio series outlines the experiences of those who settled the land after WWII as soldier settlers. Young men and women, still fresh from the war, took part in what was one of the most influential schemes to affect rural Australia, spawning new communities overnight. For many people, it was a chance to make something of themselves after growing up through the Great Depression and living through years of wartime.
