We'll never move forward unless we share what we've got: Greg Simms

Uncle Greg Simms grew up at La Perouse and was taught many things by the old people. In the 1950’s and 1960’s when they began to pass away he found he had to make his own way forward, using the values they taught him. Chief among these has been his awareness that the knowledge and stories that were shared with him need to be taught to younger generations and to Australians in general.

PLEASE NOTE

All the video recordings on this website were made at least a decade ago. Some are fifteen years old.

What the speakers say on camera was based on their own knowledge and researches at the time each video was made. Since then a great deal of information has come to hand which may make some of the information first recorded now outdated. Therefore please regard this website as a period piece presenting knowledge held and believed at the time of recording.
