Hello, I’m Dr Diane Webster and today’s short story is a short vignette about life for seven year old Alice at Greenvale Victoria in 1963. It’s a work of fiction based on actual events. Names have been changed. Greenvale is 25 km from Melbourne CBD. In 1963 it was a rural landscape with a few large farming properties and some smaller ones like Alice’s house. Country life was simple back then, but often harsh, with many trials and tribulations for its inhabitants as you will see in our story. Listen to the very end and enjoy the tale.
