“I wanted to work with an archaeologist on preserving Aboriginal sites. I got a chance to work in a really fun beach town called Manly. The office had a small museum with ancient boomerangs, stone tools, and rare photos of the tribes that used to live in the area. The exciting part of my job was going into the field with the archaeologist to map some of the rock art paintings around Sydney. We hiked along a coastline and found some really cool handprints and images. Other jobs included going to schools and presenting about Aboriginal history to the kids. Archeology work is not all glamor. There were also days working with staff on the computers cataloging their collections and preparing presentations.”
