The speech of the 102 year old lady is interesting. Born in 1858, she has a very Victorian type of speaking. Note the spacing between words, the slower delivery, the emphasis on some words that are important in her story, the very clear pronunciation.

[@uncleiroh3451]

Well, the slow delivery could depend on her being 102 years old.

[@Cassxowary]

September 1857 actually which means she was 10 years and 4 months when the last convict ship docked in the country! Which means old enough to remember that! And 1960 wasn't even THAT long ago! 🤯 and most of these could be children thereof, which explains their accents!
