New Australian Heritage Interpretation Field Handbook Launches Pre-Orders – A Practical Guide for Heritage Professionals Across Australia
Sydney, Australia – 18 August 2026 – Pre-orders are now open for the Australian Heritage Interpretation Field Handbook, a practical, Australia-focused resource written for people who plan, deliver and manage interpretation on the ground in cultural, natural and historical settings.
Authored by Kylie Christian, who has more than twenty years of experience working in heritage interpretation across Australia, the handbook brings together clear frameworks, real Australian case studies, ready-to-use worksheets, and guidance tailored to the unique contexts of working in this country. It is designed to be used, not just read, whether practitioners are writing an interpretation plan, developing themes, selecting media, or working on site with a group.
The First Edition (September 2026) is a 204-page full-colour paperback (A5 size) printed on heavy stock with a soft-touch laminated cover. Pre-order customers receive the printed handbook at the special launch price of $59.95 (regular price $69.95 after release) plus exclusive one-year access to a companion online portal. The portal includes structured chapters, case studies, a searchable glossary, downloadable worksheets and templates, and practical tools such as Project Path, Theme Lab and Media Explorer, along with a personal dashboard for notes, bookmarks and project work.
Pre-orders close on 20 September 2026. Books are expected to ship on 28 September 2026.
“This handbook is a working resource for the people doing the work every day,” said author Kylie Christian. “It draws on two decades of practical experience to provide clear, usable guidance that respects the realities of interpreting Australia’s diverse heritage places and stories.”
