Listen "Barton Williams - (Intercountry adoption - Part One)"
Episode Synopsis
In part one of our intercountry series, Jo speaks to Barton Williams about his experience of being airlifted from war torn Saigon, Vietnam in 1975 as part of the controversial humanitarian mission, Operation Babylift. Barton was raised in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide, by his new Australian adoptive family and went on to represent Australia in water sports, graduated as a school teacher, created an award-winning fitness program for children, wrote two children's picture books (including one about his experience), performs television and movie stunts and is a mad-keen pogo stick jumper! Phew! At the time of this interview, Barton was in pandemic lockdown in London, England.
