About

On the shore is about objects and ideas. Random thoughts and stray associations that come and go. It is about things that come my way as Director of the National Museum of Australia.

The banner image was taken on Hinchinbrook Island, Queensland. Many of the photographs of the Museum or its collection objects were taken by the staff photographers at the National Museum of Australia.  

Some of the material posted here is copyright. Any personal information I receive in ‘Ask’ or by email will be treated in accordance with the Museum’s privacy statement.
