Tonight, we step into one of the most powerful and heartbreaking chapters of Australian history… and into the life of a woman whose courage still echoes across generations.
Vivian Bullwinkel was a nurse, a survivor, and a witness to one of the darkest moments of World War II. From the chaos of war to the quiet strength it took to keep going, her story is one of resilience, dignity, and the unbreakable human spirit.
This is not just a story of survival. It’s a story of memory, of honour, and of the quiet bravery that refuses to be forgotten.
Settle in… and let history carry you gently into the night.

The First Holden Story

Before Australia had its own identity on four wheels, there was a vision, a belief that this country could build something for itself, shaped by its roads, its people, and its spirit.

Tonight, we step back to the moment that changed everything. The birth of the first Holden. Not just a car, but a symbol of post-war hope, ingenuity, and national pride. From a saddlery business to the production line of Australia’s first fully homegrown vehicle, this is the story of the people, the risks, and the quiet determination that put Australia in the driver’s seat.

It’s more than motoring history, it’s the story of who we were becoming.

Settle in for tonight’s Nightline Bedtime Story,  the story of the first Holden.
