Alan Falconer KippaxPrint Page

The plaque commemorates Australian cricketer Alan Falconer Kippax (1897 - 1972).  It was unveiled on 24 May 2019 in recognition of the 122nd anniversary of his birth on 25 May 1897. The plaque is located outside the house which was occupied by the Kippax family in that year.

Cricketer Alan Falconer Kippax is remembered especially for his stylish batting, high scores and feats of endurance at the crease. Beyond his career as a player, Kippax was a broadcast commentator and a trustee of the Sydney Cricket Ground, a life member of the New South Wales Cricket Association and posthumously an entry in the Cricket New South Wales Hall of Fame. A total of 22 test appearances between 1924/5 and 1934, and his achievements at this level, cement Kippax’s reputation as a player of national significance.

The Woollahra Council Plaque Scheme honours exceptional people or events associated with our local government area, that have made a significant impact on life in the area or Australia as a nation.
