My participation in the Wikipedia project is based on my desire to contribute to the wealth of publicly, freely accessible information and hence contribute to an even more informed and, therefore, better society. As a journalist, I write for my university's student newspaper Honi Soit, and for City Hub, and have posted articles on Substack.
The authoring of the article for the Hunter River Railway Company was an interesting task, combining my love of history – in this case, Australian colonial history – with my love of railways. More specifically, it combined my fascination with railways with my fascination with the colonial-era statesman William Charles Wentworth, who I have discovered was among many other things something of a railway pioneer like his great-grandson. Articles I've written about railways in Sydney and most particularly in the Inner West where I reside also reflect a convergence of interests!
