Hurray! Week one of my internship survived, and enjoyed! I didn’t exactly enjoy the 6:30am starts, or the long commute into Sydney
My week has consisted mainly of research. I’m pretty sure I’ve read everything there is to real about early colonial bricks and Peters Ice Cream.
I am also loving Trove, an online initiative by the National Library of Australia to digitise, and make searchable, a number of resources, such as books, newspapers, pictures, objects, letters, maps and websites. It’s absolutely fantastic, especially if you love old photographs, like I do!

Worst assignment ever, I have such a craving for ice cream!
longest reply post ever? possibly!
