Australian Author Shelley Dark live on THE KK FACTOR - The Greek EuroBeat show on RPP FM

Описание: Last night on THE KK FACTOR – The Greek Eurobeat Show, we were taken on an extraordinary journey with award-winning author Shelley Dark — a story that beautifully weaves Greece and Australia together across generations.

What began with a simple family question — “Are we Greek?” — uncovered an astonishing truth: Shelley’s family history traces back to Ghikas Voulgaris, a Hydriot pirate who became one of Australia’s first Greek convicts. From that moment, Shelley’s life — and writing — changed forever.

Our conversation travelled from the rugged beauty of Hydra to the convict history of New South Wales, exploring identity, heritage, resilience and what it truly means to belong. Shelley shared insights into her acclaimed memoir Hydra in Winter and her powerful historical novel Son of Hydra, which brings this untold Greek-Australian story to life.

This was more than an interview — it was a reminder that history lives within us, waiting to be rediscovered, and that our Greek story continues to unfold in the most unexpected ways.

A huge thank you to Shelley Dark for sharing her voice, her research, and her heart with the KK Factor audience. If you missed it, this is one conversation you’ll want to catch up on.
