Tom Baddeley

Tom Baddeley had a very happy childhood growing up in South Perth with his much adored 10 pound Pom parents and two brothers. He’s not sure whether it was his Mum’s enjoyment of biography, his Dad’s passion for all things military or the pet dog named Ned Kelly that sparked his interest in history, but it’s a flame that still burns today. Tom has been an Associate for a Supreme Court judge, a solicitor, a journalist for The West Australian and television presenter for the ABC and Channel Nine. He is currently the Director of the WA Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association Limited (APPEA). He is married to Cathy and they have two daughters.
