Tanya Heaslip came to Alice Springs when she was four and grew up on a cattle station.
She was a student on the School of the Air but finished high school in Adelaide and then decided to do law. For Tanya however, the Territory was always in her heart and she came back and started her career in Darwin with the government. Her first assignment was assisting with the Royal Commission into the death of Azaria Chamberlain, arguably the most high profile case in the history of Australia.
Tanya has spent time working in Darwin, Alice and also in Western Australia, but perhaps most interestingly, she has had a long running love affair with Prague. She has authored two books and intends to write two more.
This is Tanya’s Territory Story.
