Summer Research Showcase

Many of us could not make it up to Darwin for the PHA Hot Histories conference in October, so we've decided to bring those hot histories to you!

Join us for an afternoon of presentations from 4 of our wonderful members who presented in Darwin. Alongside some captivating history, there will be a lovely afternoon tea, and a chance for networking and socialising.

Jacqui Newling: If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen

Jeff Hopkins-Weise: Northern Australia's last imperial outpost: Somerset, Cape York, 1864-67
