Fernleigh Track Oral Histories
These oral histories were recorded as part of the Fernleigh Track Interpretation Plan project. The aim of the interviews was to capture the stories of people who had had some association with the track in the past, in the hopes that these stories would provide a more meaningful experience for users.
The twelve interviews which follow were recorded by library staff in March 2008.
