Heritage movement

Annie Wyatt House

Annie Wyatt, a founder of the National Trust (NSW), lived here from 1926, and the unofficial first meeting of the trust was held in the house in 1945.

Byles, Marie

Marie Byles overcame formal and informal obstacles in order to become Sydney's first practicing woman lawyer. She mentored other women in law, and became an advocate for women's rights in other fields, as well as an environmental activist and a writer about Buddhism.

Green Bans movement

When builders labourers, organised by their union, refused to work on projects they found socially or environmentally undesirable, in Sydney in the 1970s, they started a new form of environmental activism. The Green Bans were to change the way Sydney developed

Hyde Park Barracks

From convict barracks to female immigration depot to asylum for destitute women, Hyde Park Barracks has witnessed and revealed much of Sydney's social history.

Wyatt, Annie

Wyatt was a tireless advocate for heritage protection and conservation who believed that women could make a difference in community issues. She helped found the National Trust and save some of Sydney's most iconic buildings.
