Title: A Lifetime of Stories
Author: Andrew McKean

Spanning from 1946 to 2024, Andrew McKean’s memoir, A Lifetime of Stories, follows a remarkable journey from Melbourne to the farthest reaches of the globe, capturing an era of exploration, innovation, and quiet introspection.

Born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1940, Andrew’s life was shaped by an insatiable curiosity and a career that would take him across continents and oceans. As a young man, he circumnavigated the globe by ship, absorbing cultures and landscapes in the Middle East, UK, Africa, Malta, Canada, the Far East and the United States. His work as a television studio engineer led him to the extraordinary—working as a communications engineer on the Apollo Moon Project during humankind’s greatest technological leap forward.

In later years, Andrew retired to the countryside south of Sydney, trading the complexities of global communications for the simplicity of rural life. Now residing in a nursing home in Bundanoon, NSW, he reflects on decades filled with adventure, innovation, and quiet moments of contemplation.

Told with a straightforward eloquence, A Lifetime of Stories captures the vivid details of a life driven by curiosity and enriched by experiences. Andrew’s journey through history, technology, and the human experience reveals the resilience of a man who lived fully and watched the world change before his eyes.
