Betro AbicarePrint Page Print this page

The Blue Plaque recognises Betro Abicare (sometimes spelt Abikhair), who was a Lebanese immigrant, builder and entrepreneur who made a major contribution to the development of Albury’s commercial centre.

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 New South Wales. It is inspired by the famous London Blue Plaques program which originally started in 1866, and similar programs around the world.
