The Blue Plaque recognises May Gibbs (1877 - 1969), who was one of Australia`s best known children`s author and illustrator. 

The New South Wales Blue Plaques program celebrates heritage by recognising noteworthy people and events from our State’s history. The program aims to capture public interest and fascination in people, events and places which form the story of NSW. It is inspired by the famous London Blue Plaques program which originally started in 1866, and similar programs around the world.
