I have been with the Toorak Times since April 2012. I worked as Senior Editor of the Toorak Times for 10 years before retiring in 2012. I continue now as an occasional feature writer. I've been in the Australian music scene as a musician since 1964, and have worked in radio and TV and newspapers (when they were paper ), serious experience in audio editing, and a lot of video editing experience. I retired from paid radio work in 2022 and took up a position in the Education Centre at Puffing Billy

Listen To Older Voices presents the stories, views and opinions of our older citizens. It is predominantly in a life & times format, with interviewees reflecting upon their lives from earliest memories. An underlying principal of the program is to promote the concept of positive ageing, reinforcing the principle that older people have & continue to make a valuable contribution to both their local & wider community.

This is a special Baby Boomers program, looking at the life and events of a person sixty-five or older born into the Baby Boomer generation.

Seventy one year old Bob Bright is without a shadow of doubt a doyen of the Australian Entertainment Industry. His career started in the late 1950’s and continues through to today. In part one of his story he takes us back to his earliest memories as a boy in England and then shares with us in fascinating detail, the journey he made with his mother to Australia. This journey on a boat took him through the Middle East and the sub-continent, before arriving in Australia.

In finishing Part 1 of his story he recollects those early years in Australia where he and his mother joined relatives in South Australia. We also share his introduction to music, something which would forever form his future career and shape his future.
