A great privilege of being an Ambassador is the opportunity to meet some extraordinary members of the Australian community. And that was certainly the case when my wife Jessica and I attended the premiere of a film called Mountain Boy https://t.co/xui6OexRdr
The film is based on the 2017 book The Boy Who Knew Mountains, by Australian author Michele Ziolkowski. The film is produced Nancy Paton, the Australian founder of @desertrosefilms. It is the first feature film by Emirati director Zainab Shaheen and it is a magnificent film that touched our hearts.
It captures the beauty of the land and the heritage of the UAE in such a vivid way and it was wonderful to see that it is the product of a fantastic collaboration between super talented Australians and Emiratis.
@mczSki sent me a signed copy of Past Remembrance to the UK from our UAE print run. It looks awesome and we're so excited to share the adventure with Emirati teens. Contact us or @early_starters for more info!

And so it begins...@mczSki and I have coordinated with @early_starters to distribute print copies of Past Remembrance, Book One in Safia's Archaeological Adventures, in the United Arab Emirates! We're really excited about this opportunity and hope Emirati teens enjoy the local adventure!
My new book on the archaeology and history of Fujairah is published. I am incredibly grateful to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah, for the opportunity to research and write this timely publication.
How much research goes into your writing?
My co-author and I did a deep dive into the archaeology of Sir Bani Yas off the coast of Abu Dhabi to make sure we got things right for Safia's first Archaeological Adventure.

Had a great conversation with Nancy Paton of @desertrosefilms, director Zainab Shaheen and lead actor Naser at the @alainfilmfest UAE premiere of “Mountain Boy” – a film that tackles neurodiversity through the extraordinary tale of Suhail.
I extend my sincere condolences to the family of Peter Hellyer, who served the UAE with devotion for many years and made a lasting impact in the fields of archaeology, the environment and the media. Peter was a model of dedication & generosity, and we pray that he rests in peace.
@ADIBF would it be possible to work together on creating sensory free quiet zones for book readings? Let’s work together on inclusion at Abu Dhabi book fair for people of determination.
