G'day Mathsmal, welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it here. Congrats on your endeavour. It is always pleasing to see such projects working to save memories.

I interviewed a number of veterans back when I was living in Western Australia (now been in Victoria, other side of the country, for five weeks). The recordings don't follow any structure and include some general discussion to help the subject feel at ease with the microphone etc. Not sure they're overly great to listen to as at least one of them, when put together, would be in excess of 10 hours. Having said all of that, if I can help, please let me know.

I really need to get into it again as have been made aware of a 94-year old former soldier/POW who worked in the Sasebo coal mines. All of my interviews have been aircrew to date, though.

Btw, I am the former Andy in West Oz!
