Listen To Older Voices: Peter Manuel - Part 2

Welcome to Listen To Older Voices, a program produced Rob Greaves for Wesley Mission Victoria and podcast through the Toorak Times.

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.


In this, another Baby Boomer edition of LTOV, we share part 2 of Peter Manuel’s 3-part story. We learn why he developed such a strong and eclectic taste in music. We follow his story as he graduates and becomes a Secondary School teacher, and why it is that he only lasts a very short time while teaching in Sydney. We are introduced to his partner Laurel, and how circumstances led him to retiring at the young age of 47.

We follow the adventures he and Lauren have 4-wheel driving around Australia and we get a feeling why so many of the Baby Boomer generation liked to travel and explore.
