The seventh walk in Walking Sydney: Fifteen walks with a city's writers is with writer and community arts worker Sheila Ngọc Phạm, who takes us from the quiet streets of Yagoona into the heart of Vietnamese and artistic Bankstown, tracing personal and collective memories. Sheila, in her writing and conversation, responds to the prompts around her - a flag in a garden, a beautiful Ngọc Lũ drum in a shopping street - opening up portals to intergenerational stories and a wider world.
