Reflections

This oral history collection records the stories of generations of Amateurs members, among them flag officers, notable achievers, perennial volunteers and inveterate raconteurs.

The podcasts are an enduring legacy for our club in the wake of its 150th anniversary in 2022.

In keeping with the SASC’s long and proud tradition of self-help, the interviews were recorded and produced by fellow members of ‘the best kept secret on Sydney Harbour’.

To them, and their clubmates who generously agreed to tell their stories, provided photographs, or assisted with background research, our gratitude.

We also pay our respects to the families and friends of those Amateurs who’ve ‘crossed the bar’ since sharing their memories.

The podcasts are presented in surname alphabetical order, and each includes a transcript. More will be added to the collection as they become available in the future.

May you get much pleasure from listening to Reflections.
