RECOGNITION DOWN UNDER: Jamie Parker MP, Member of the NSW
Legislative Assembly for Balmain, rose to his feet at 1.20 pm
on 14 October 2015 to make a "Tribute to Marghanita da Cruz":
"I bring to the attention of the House a member of my local
community, Marghanita da Cruz. In 1998 Marghanita began an
online anecdotal history of Annandale, bringing to life the
rich history of Sydney's inner west for a global readership.
In 2009 Marghanita established the annual Eco-Annandale
exhibition, which she continues to curate and which brings
together work by local photographers, artists and scientists
on the theme of environmental sustainability. Marghanita is
an active member of her local precinct committee and
Leichhardt Municipal Council's Heritage Committee.
Recognising the community's interest in Annandale's history
and heritage, Marghanita is championing the Annandale
Heritage Festival to complement the Hunter Baillie Memorial
Presbyterian Church's National Trust Fund annual open day. As
part of the festival, Marghanita guides historical walks.
Marghanita played a key part in the recent naming of Douglas
Grant Memorial Park. I thank Marghanita for her online and
offline activities that help to strengthen our community.
Congratulations to a stalwart of the local community."
