I live in Sydney and work as a historian with my firm Coast History & Heritage, and have worked for the past 25 years with Aboriginal heritage and history. I have been collaboratively researching Sydney’s Aboriginal history for many years with members of the La Perouse Aboriginal community. In 2014 I completed a PhD looking at the Aboriginal people and places of coastal Sydney - the theme of my book Hidden In Plain View: The Aboriginal people of coastal Sydney (NewSouth Publishing). In 2015 I was awarded the NSW History Fellowship by Arts NSW for a collaborative project with Aboriginal researchers from La Perouse called This Is Where They Travelled - Historical Aboriginal Lives in Sydney.  The project culminated in a travelling exhibition launched at History House in Sydney during NAIDOC 2016, which features profiles of 10 key Aboriginal people who lived in the coastal part of Sydney between the early 1800s and the 1940s. I now work on Aboriginal history projects around Sydney, collaborating with Aboriginal communities to tell the rich stories of place that make this city so incredible.
