Board & Wall Displays
On display in this exhibition were a selection of photos and posters that provide a snapshot of the activities of the Glebe Society over its 50 year history.
A key exhibition item was the huge ‘Glebe Society 50 Years Timeline’ poster.
The Villas display explores the development of Glebe in the early nineteenth century. After thousands of years of Indigenous ownership and being briefly held by the Anglican church, large portions of The Glebe and Forest Lodge were sold to investors from 1828.
People have lived in Glebe and Forest Lodge for thousands of years. Prior to the arrival of the first fleet, Aboriginal people lived on the shores of Blackwattle Creek and Johnstons Creek where they had access to food from the sea and to fresh water. The Aboriginal Land: Glebe & Forest Lodge display documented some tangible reminders of pre-contact Aboriginal occupation.
This display covered the environmental history of Glebe, from the days when the Wangal and Cadigal people of the Eora nation fished the waters of Blackwattle and Rozelle Bays.
This display shows how the six landcare and bushcare groups in Glebe and the local community are working to increase the diversity, abundance and distribution of indigenous flora and fauna in our suburb, as well as establishing a network of wildlife corridors linking key habitat areas.
My 2037 was a photographic competition for primary and secondary students from our six local schools.
