In this episode Nina interviews Pat who shares the story of his early life growing up in Frankston North. When Pat was a young lad this was a very working-class town, full of commission homes, outside Melbourne, Australia. Pat’s story is set in the 1960s and 70s and is very much a story of the Aussie battler. With his sharp wit and intelligence and a keen love of sport, Pat was able to gain a broader view of the world, and set himself on a path out of his low socio-economic roots. Enjoy Pat’s story as he shares the hardships, triumphs, wisdom and wonderful people that helped him on his way.
Thank you to Pat for sharing this treasure of a story.
