Made in Australia, one family at a time, by the team behind Blues & Greens - who sit in 120+ mentoring sessions with Australian families every week.

Chapter 01

The conversation nobody's ever had with him.

Your dad has 80 years of stories. You've heard maybe ten, & not because he's private - because the dinner table isn't built for it, & the Sunday call isn't either. So each week, one trained young storyteller sits with him over video & asks what nobody has. The same person, every week, until the guard comes down & the real stories walk out.

Australian men average 81 years. Australian women, 85. Every family knows that arithmetic, & almost every family plans to do something about it one day. One day has a habit of arriving late.

Ten honest hours captures more of them than the last ten Christmases did.

Chapter 02

Then it becomes an object your family will fight over. Politely.

Ten hours of conversation, distilled into a book set in his own words - alongside the complete film & voice archive, & a written message for each person he loves.

Chapter One

The Boy from the High Country

“Dad reckoned the frost built character. I reckon it just built early risers. Either way, I never slept past five again in my life.”

Chapter Three

The Kitchen on Rathdowne Street

“We didn't have much, but Mum could make a Sunday roast stretch to Thursday. I can still smell it. If you kids remember one thing about where I come from, remember that nobody at that table ever felt poor.”

Chapter Five

The Girl from the Coburg Town Hall

“She says the dress was blue. It was green. Sixty-one years married & we've never settled it, & I hope we never do.”

Chapter Nine

Becoming Pop

“Your kids give you back the hours your work took. Grandkids give you back the wonder. Nobody warns you about that part.”

Watch it take shape, from session one.

Every family receives a private portal - the quiet place where the films, the voice recordings & the chapters gather as they're made, & where the finished archive lives on long after.

G&G

Last year I sat my Pop down in front of a camera & just asked him questions. Where he grew up. How he met my nan. The stuff no one ever asks.

I run Blues & Greens - we match teenage boys with young mentors, & hundreds of Australian families trust us with their kids every week. I thought I knew what a good conversation could do. Those sessions with Pop still caught me off guard. Eighty years of stories, & most of them were new to me. His own grandson.

The stories were always there. Nobody had ever asked.

Greys & Greens is that, done properly. A trained young person, week after week, drawing out a lifetime. Then a book in your hands that holds it. We're opening five founding places to get it right.

The founding edition

An invitation to five families.

Ten filmed hour-long conversations. The linen-bound Life Story Book, foil-stamped with their name. The complete film & voice archive - roughly five hundred minutes of their voice. A written message for each person they love.

A professional biographer charges $3,250 & visits six times. StoryWorth emails your dad a weekly form for $99. This is neither.

Asked quietly, answered honestly

Dad will say he has nothing worth telling.

They all say that. Then a stranger asks what his street smelled like in 1958, & an hour disappears. Our storytellers open with the easy years & let the hour do the convincing. If he doesn't take to it after the first session, we pause & talk with you before going any further.

How does the filming actually work?

Over a video call, at the same time each week. There's nothing for your parent to set up or learn - they answer a call & talk to someone who genuinely wants to listen. Every session is recorded & transcribed as they speak.

What exactly do we receive?

The linen-bound Life Story Book, printed & bound in Melbourne. The complete film & voice archive of all ten sessions, held privately for your family. Written messages from your parent to each person they love.

How much does it cost?

Founding pricing is shared with the waitlist first, before anyone else. For honest bearings: a professional biographer charges $3,250 for six visits, & the $99 services post your parent a form email once a week. This sits between the two - & the five founding families get the best terms we will ever offer.

What if something happens to them partway through?

Everything captured belongs to your family from the very first session. If the program can't be finished, every recording & the book built from what exists are delivered in full, & the unfinished portion is refunded.

Who are the storytellers?

Trained young people from the team behind Blues & Greens, where hundreds of Australian families trust our mentors with their teenagers every week. Drawing people out of themselves is the thing we've spent years getting good at.
