The 2023 Australian Heritage Festival theme is Shared Stories. This new theme invites event organisers to share the stories of our natural, cultural built and Indigenous heritage, and encourages the community to build connections through the contribution of their own rich and diverse stories along the way.
Research Rooms open for members and visitors for family history research.
Speaker: David Rosenberg
Topic: "Pine Gap – Close To God’s Ear: NSA Eavesdropping Memoirs"
David worked for the NSA for over twenty years, including eighteen years as an American officer at the Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap. This is the first book about the NSA’s operations at a satellite ground site by an individual who held the Top Secret security clearance that allowed him to work inside Operations. His book details the intelligence collection mission at Pine Gap and the partnership between Australia and the United States that has made Pine Gap the most important satellite ground site in the Intelligence Community. David is the Technical & Creative Consultant for the Netflix and ABC television series, ‘Pine Gap’.
