It was early in 2022. We were still just on the tail of the Covid pandemic. We were still quite often wearing masks, often doing social distancing and still RAT testing and staying home if we got infected.
Shellharbour City Council, on the homelands of the Wadi Wadi people, decided to commission a few people in the Shellharbour community to tell some stories…
And the 5 stories they commissioned became a collection that they called We are Shellharbour.

The stories in this episode were produced with funding from Shellharbour City Council.

Andrew reflects on repaying the East Timorese people, and reconnecting with family on his return from service.

Advisory: The people who have "a good mind to" tell you this story would like you to know there is a description of a dead body in this episode. 

Andrew enlisted in the Army in 1995. He was assigned to 5th/7th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment in Holsworthy. The UN International Force East Timor (INTERFET) consisted mainly of Australian Defence Force members, including Andrew, and was deployed to East Timor to assist with the conflict. Andrew arrived in Dili aboard the Jervis Bay, and was met with the devastation that faced the region.
