Monsoon - Carpentaria Shire Council, 2009 We interviewed local people in the Gulf of Carpentaria face to face and worked with council staff and designers to develop a concept plan for an experiential monsoon exhibit in Normanton. The centre will give visitors a taste of what it's like to be in the Gulf region during the wet season and show them how aspects of life are transformed each year by the wet-dry cycle.

Playasaurus Place - Queensland Museum, 2009 Playasaurus Place explores energy, climate change and ancient plants and animals, including the much-loved dinosaurs. We worked with scientists and curators to write informative, accurate, engaging and concise panels.

Museum Zoo - Queensland Museum, 2006 The Museum Zoo exhibition focuses on animal size and survival, spectacularly showing off the museum’s collection while drawing attention to the threats to animal habitats.
We collaborated with museum curators, Brandi Exhibitions, and Ormsby Kerrins Freeman to bring this fantastic parade of animals to you. No cages, no glass cases. Take the kids or borrow someone else’s—it’s a learning experience and a lot of fun. Museum Zoo ran throughout 2007 and 2008 at Queensland Museum South Bank, Brisbane (still going in 2009).

Water WOWsers show - Queensland Museum Sciencentre, 2006 We collaborated with designers Hanne and Tommy Brandi, physics whiz Joel Gilmore, and museum curators to develop the Water Wowsers show for the Queensland Museum's Sciencentre. Water WOWsers is an entertaining and interactive multimedia science show that helps school-age children learn about water properties, uses, quality, availability and conservation. The children receive some fun ideas for science demonstrations and water saving tips which they can share with friends and family.

Water interactive exhibits - Queensland Museum Sciencentre, 2006 Working with museum curators, Brandi Exhibitions, and Desmond Freeman and his team at Ormsby Kerrins Freeman, we helped design concepts and write interpretive text for three water interactive exhibits for the Sciencentre:
The exhibits give visitors a hands-on experience with aspects of water treatment, water cycles and water conservation ideas.

Megafauna: Prehistoric giants from the Darling Downs - Queensland Museum, 2007 We provided interpretive text for seven panels in the Queensland Museum's Megafauna exhibition. This included reviewing and rewriting draft text supplied by the museum, ensuring logical story and content flow, using clear and active language, and writing to the interactive components within the exhibition. Megafauna ran until February 2008 at the Cobb+Co Museum in Toowoomba, Queensland.

BioBus - Queensland Government, 2005 and 2007 We developed the content for an original mobile exhibition on biotechnology aimed at high school students. We wrote content for hands-on and interactive exhibits, and scripted a short film on biotechnology applications. The BioBus is touring schools in Queensland for two years. In 2007, we reviewed the Biobus content for currency and made recommendations for changes. The outcome: Mobile bus interactive displays and short biotechnology film for school students.
