A lovely image for your narrative. This is a good, clear, well recorded interview. The speaker tells a very heartfelt story, and makes an important personal statement about mixed culture and identity. From a technical point of view, and to give the story more ambience or local flavour, you may wish to either record in situ, or to add in some foley sound fx. The ending is rather abrupt, you might want to add in some 'air' and then do a fade, rather than fading on the voice.
I appreciate the care with which you selected your topic, your personal connection and the obviously intimate and relaxed conversation with your sister on this. I'm glad I listened to your project at home because I could hear the audio much more clearly here. The piece is a bit loose - it kind of circles and meanders at points, repeating phrases like "centre island" - and it seems to cut off rather abruptly. Perhaps it could have been edited a little more tightly, but that kind of fine-tuning is not the usual style of audioblogs, which I believe turn away from highly-mixed production values in favour of intimacy.
