Culloden Moor was fascinating and had a really first rare visitor's centre, crucial for a story so close to the Scottish national narrative. It dealt with a difficult and complex history really well.

Just did an interview on ABC Sydney which segued from the folklore of giant worms in South Australia, as opposed to the known giant Gippsland ones, to Alien big cats and Yowies. Quite the spread.

Great to see my research brought to life for the Ballarat Heritage Festival, sharing diverse local histories — Indian hawkers, Sikh communities, African American civic life and the 1901 Chinese Arch. Special link: Francis Isiah Richardson was my colleague Zeb great-grandfather.
