Nora Heysen was the first Australian woman to be appointed by the military as an official war artist.

In the lead-up to Anzac Day, I spoke with Holden Sheppard, award-winning author and host of The Fremantle Press Podcast, about Nora’s contribution to recording events of WWII in the Pacific, and about the process of writing her story.

Thanks for having me, Holden!
