PepTalkHer: Meggie Palmer

Rowena Leslie’s great-grandfather was a gold prospector. Mining, she says, is in her blood.

It makes sense, then, that she and her sister founded successful mining business, Kai Rho Contracting.

This week Rowena speaks to Next Generation Innovators @aliciasteviestephenson about its advent, and how they keep it “local, Aboriginal and experienced”.
