Nov 5, 2025 By Heritage21 https://www.heritage21.com.au/ The NSW railways can always be counted on to have heritage significance, being a mark of suburban, economic and technological development over time. Heritage 21 has extensive experience in the rail sector. Our director, Paul Rappoport had worked on the Heritage management documentation for Central Station earlier in his Australian career which has translated to other rail-related projects within the company.

Dec 21, 2025 By Leigh Atkins,Assistant Manager, Front of House, National Museum of Australia The National Museum of Australia (NMA), located in Canberra, is recognised for exploring Australia’s social history, culture, and identity. Since opening in 2001, the Museum has sought to connect audiences with the rich, complex stories that shape Australia. One of the most significant ways it does this is through its onsite face-to-face interpretation which includes guided tours, fac

Mar 27, 2026 Museums of History NSW Seeing Sydney, Knowing Country explored the development of the NSW colony through a selection of historical maps, plans, sketches, artworks and objects from Museums of History NSW, other institutional and private collections. Inscribed over this colonial perspective was an artistic intervention by artist and designer Alison Page that layered First Nations understandings of Country.

Aug 5, 2026 Walking through the Gardens at night is a unique sensory experience. As the light fades and visibility becomes limited, sound, smell and touch take over. Daytime bird song is replaced by a chorus of frogs and insects, occasionally punctuated by the squeak of a bat or call of a tawny frogmouth. The tang of sun-warmed eucalypt fades, overtaken by the rich scent of dewy earth and night-blooming flowers. Exploring the Gardens after dark. Credit: ANBG Each year thousan

John Pastorelli July 3, 2026 Human imperfection (?) Our imperfections are qualities and characteristics of what make us human. They provide the oddities that excite and enrich the flavour of our perspectives, they introduce novelty and personality. Any yet imperfections are often shunted. A brilliant piece of furniture can be ruined with just one scratch. And so, there is a paradox in which imperfections can make the world all the more human-like whilst also frustrating our

Renee Fletcher Environmental Interpretation Officer Sunshine Coast Council Environmental Visitor Centres Whether its spending time in the garden, hiking on a hinterland trail or checking out the rockpools at low tide I love being outdoors in the natural environment. It is central to my wellbeing. Much of my career has focused on helping others to also experience this connection and love. I currently live and work on Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country and I feel privileged to have

Regan Forrest Director Interactivate I love learning new things and connecting people and ideas. I’ve been lucky to have had a career that has taken me to so many different parts of the world and has provided me an arsenal of random facts that make me a formidable pub quiz contestant (as long as they don’t ask about reality TV or cricket). When not working I’ll most likely be found binge-watching a thriller series, cracking a cryptic crossword, sweating it out at the gym or c

Penelope Stannard Head of Curatorial & Research Museums of History NSW I’m originally from Dareton a small locality in remote southwestern NSW on Barkindji Country. I’ve always loved art and history and how ideas are explored and contested through these realms. I’ve had several different careers from visual artist to violinist, high school teacher, university lecturer, independent consultant, cultural planner, creative producer, researcher, curator and senior executive. I’m a

Alison Page Artist + Designer Alison Page Design Pty Ltd I am a proud Dharawal and Yuin multi-disciplinary artist and designer and have played a leading role in developing design pathways for Aboriginal people in design. I have an extensive career working since 1998, spanning design, public art, interiors, exhibitions and urban design. I am now a Professor of Practice in the School of Architecture at University of Technology, Sydney where I am establishing the Indigenous Inst

Beata Kade CEO Art of Multimedia I have the analytical mind of a philosopher, the drive of a project manager and the creative spirit of a storyteller, always seeking meaningful connections between people. I’m curious and appreciative of the diversity of experiences and perspectives the world offers, and have spent decades using technology to serve human connection rather than replace it. I enjoy abstract thinking and innovating, which helps me be an effective conductor within

Richard Berman-Hardman General Manager Skyrail Rainforest Cableway I’ve worked in both the not-for-profit and for-profit tourism sector for 25 years. Prior to living in Cairns, I was Director of Operations at Sovereign Hill in Ballarat and spent 10 years leading a team which presented that region’s rich goldrush heritage to a large audience; prior to that, I ran the National Trust of Australia (Vic) properties across the state and also spent 5 years as General Manager of the

Kate Armstrong Manager Interpretation and Content Development MoAD In the early 1990s I travelled to the land of my ancestors – the United Kingdom. Everything about the trip was entirely predictable – youth hostels, bomb-y cars, well-thumbed guidebooks, well-worn routes to established tourist attractions, very little money. The ingredients for a superficial skate over the surface of the British Isles were all in place. But the experience was extraordinary and life-changing du

Sally McPhee Creative Producer, Placemaking and Interpretation, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria I’m more comfortable asking people about themselves than talking about myself. I find people fascinating, the good, the bad and the ugly about us as individuals, as a society, Australians and as the human race. I love language and thinking critically about how it moves and shifts to frame our understanding of the past, present and hopes or fears for the future. On one level, I’m in

As a Park Interpretation Officer you will be part of a small Territory-wide team responsible for the design, development, production and delivery of a range of interpretive products including signage and displays, publications, face-to-face interpretive programs, and web content and digital

Value is such a subjective notion determined by so many variables. What may be of value to some people might cause others to cringe. What rocks people’s world one day might be discarded the next. For example, I’m writing this article whilst listening to a band called the Groove Investigators, whose genre I’d say is somewhere around funky jazz. I first included it on my playlist a few years back, and kept listening to their music on and off for a few months before ‘moving on’.
