Last News from Brisbane
August 19, 2012
My name is Ben Heaslip and I am an Archival officer with the National Archives of Australia, based in Darwin in the tropical North. It’s the Dry season up here at the moment, and temperature-wise it’s about as perfect as you’ll find anywhere. A bit cool at nights sometimes it must be said! I came to Information Management after stints as a primary school teacher, child care director, factory worker, bank teller, dish washer, children’s support worker, child care trainer and time on a Barossa Valley vineyard and a Huon Valley apple orchard.
