The plaque commemorates English-born journalist and publisher, John Fairfax (1804 - 1877).
John Fairfax’s best-known and arguably greatest legacy was, and remains, the Sydney Morning Herald – long a national institution as much as it is an enduring source of local and international news. John Fairfax was also the founder of the Sydney-based firm John Fairfax and Sons - today’s Fairfax Media.
