As part of the 2025 History Festival, Kalyra proudly presents Decisions through the decades, a collection of compelling stories from three residents. Fred Lorenz, Alan Woods and Peter Harrington share their remarkable journeys through World War II and their immigration to Australia – and the decisions that fundamentally altered their life trajectories. Their stories highlight how single choices, from answering a newspaper advertisement to pursuing a trade, can shape decades of personal history. This project represents the special partnership between Kalyra and South Australia’s History Festival.
