This Australian Centenarian's Connection to 'Beneath Hill 60' is Deeply Personal

Born in Port Pirie in South Australia, Barbara’s upbringing amidst the smelter and industrial harbour shaped her early years. She moved with her parents to the remote mining town of Broken Hill. Barbara’s father was a tunneller in World War I. His memoirs inspired the film, ‘Beneath Hill 60’. Following her years studying French at Adelaide University, Barbara travelled to Paris in 1950 to attend the Sorbonne. The 100 Project is where Australian 100 year olds have their say!
