John King Part One

John King dreamed of being an Astronomer - but ended up being a surveyor! A career that has led him to play a major role in documenting and charting our vast Northern Territory landscape. In Part One, John takes us along on his journey of growing up in the 1950s, 60s and 70s in the hot tropics of a post-war outpost that is fast developing into a city in the top end of Australia. Sultry nights and family barbecues filled with days at school, swimming, cycling, football and fishing with his mates and his time at University pursuing his career. John’s vivid memories take us back in time, telling many of the untold stories that are part of the fabric that shapes our unique culture, in this ancient part of Australia today. Hosted on Acast.
