Wanted – a story teller

ABC Radio National is holding a My Street competition to unearth some great stories about Australian communities as part of its Street Stories program.

People throughout Australia are being invited to tell the tale of their street using video, audio, images and/or text. The story can be recorded on a mobile phone, an MP3 player, a video or digital camera, or it could be a written description or a series of photos with captions.

Entries will be uploaded onto the Radio National website and the producer of the best story will have the opportunity to work with a producer to record and edit a radio story about their street.

Entries close on November 7 – click HERE to find out more.

:!: Is there a creative person out there who would like to put something together? If so, please leave a comment below or email us HERE.

I’d love to try and put together a story of the people of the valley, for the Radio National street stories, looking back through time as far as I can…early water supply scheme, migrant stories, bushfires, and on to today’s sustainable community.

I would work with Chloe (a good history lesson for her and me!), maybe using her words…I don’t really know.

The general theme might be the changing community…something like that.

I’d like to incorporate some form of oral history, doing a combination of written and audio – maybe photos as well. It’d be great fun to try!

Anyone else interested? Other thoughts? Let me know what you think.
