This week on Sunday Nights with Bill Crews, we explore Australia's oldest living culture, revisit one of the nation's most challenging public health crises, and uncover the hidden family stories that can shape generations. As Australia marks NAIDOC Week, Bill is joined by Indigenous author, filmmaker and traditional knowledge holder Victor Steffensen to discuss his acclaimed book The Knowledge. Together they explore the enduring wisdom of Aboriginal culture, what it truly means to care for Country, the importance of cultural burning, and why traditional knowledge remains just as relevant today as it has been for tens of thousands of years. It's a thoughtful conversation about connection, respect, and the lessons that can help build a stronger future for both people and the land. Bill also speaks with acclaimed Australian author GS Johnston about his powerful new novel For a Moment More, which returns to Sydney's HIV/AIDS crisis during the early 1990s. Drawing on his own experiences as a pharmacist on Oxford Street at the height of the epidemic, Johnston reflects on the fear, stigma, grief and remarkable resilience that defined a generation. They discuss how far Australia has come in the treatment of HIV, why these stories must continue to be told, and what younger Australians can learn from this pivotal chapter in our recent history. Plus, Bill sits down with award-winning Australian novelist Sue Woolfe to discuss her moving new novel The Girl Who Climbed on Rooves. Inspired by the extraordinary discovery that her mother had concealed a childhood spent in an abusive orphanage, Sue explores family secrets, trauma, memory and the emotional truths that fiction can reveal. It's a deeply personal conversation about the stories families keep hidden, the lasting impact of childhood experiences, and the healing power of storytelling. Three fascinating conversations that examine Australia's past, challenge us to think differently about the present, and offer hope for the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
