The study of the past and telling its stories are critical to our sense of belonging, to our communities and to our shared future.
History shapes our identities, engages us as citizens, creates
inclusive communities, is part of our economic well-being, teaches us to think critically and creatively, inspires leaders and is the foundation of our future generations.
This website contains some of my most recent history and heritage observations.
Understanding the history of contemporary
issues that confront our communities, nation
and world can clarify misperceptions, reveal
complexities, temper volatile viewpoints, and
open people to new possibilities, leading to more
effective solutions.
I support the “Value of History” as espoused by the History Council of New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria.
