CABAH is a dynamic collective of 20 universities and museums from across the globe. Their aim is to be at the forefront of scientific discovery and education.
CABAH is researching, connecting communities and informing policy in a way that “tells a culturally inclusive, globally significant human and environmental history of Australia.”
Wildspring was charged with the exciting mission of researching and writing articles with broad appeal, to celebrate an epic and ancient Australia.
This was one of our passion projects in science and archaeology. Working with the fantastic people at Foxed Communications.

Research and Copywriting Solution
A dream project for Wildspring, we were engaged to deliver articles to inspire and educate. Front of mind was telling new and intriguing stories from a growing body of research across Australasia.
“We’ve heard so much of European archaeology, of the pyramids in Egypt and civilisations of the ancient Americas. It’s well and truly time to be singing up our own incredible, deep history … beyond 60,000 years of human habitation.”
Rachael Bailey, Director Wildspring
Showcasing the extraordinary work of CABAH, we presented three ground-breaking stories from intrepid researchers in wild areas across Australia and Papua New Guinea.
The resulting work contributed to a new CABAH website that focuses on igniting interest in Australasia’s treasure trove of archaeological stories.
