Waverley's seniors are a treasure trove of memories. To celebrate these memories and most importantly to collect them, Waverley Council held a Seniors’ Storytelling Workshop at Waverley Library in 2009.

As this was also Council’s sesquicentenary year, it seemed a fitting time to make sure such wonderful stories were not lost. 

Our seniors have a wealth of stories about growing up in the earlier part of the last century, and the profound changes in the environment, technology and society they have experienced in their lives.

They also give first hand witness to significant historical events they lived through, both local and worldwide, such as the effect of the influenza pandemic on Waverley in the years following World War I and memories of World War II when the war came close to home at Bondi.
