Great week at the AAA/AIMA Joint Conference, where I co-chaired my first session, presented a paper on 4WD #tourism, and was lucky enough to visit Devil's Lair in Boranup Forest! Looking forward to holidays, writing time and getting stuck into 2026 😊 #AAA48 #Archaeology #Heritage #AcademicSky

Absolutely chuffed to have two peer reviewers suggest no corrections or revisions for my latest chapter draft on #museums and #archaeology exhibitions. Looking forward to seeing it out there in the world soon 🥳 #AcademicSky #PeerReview #SmallWins
