About this place
What to expect
Visitors can discover the stories behind the people, places and events that have helped shape NSW - where the history happened. A Blue Plaque visit offers more than sightseeing. It creates a direct connection between place and story, turning everyday locations into places of discovery. Each plaque reveals a unique piece of history, encouraging visitors to explore local areas from a new perspective and uncover stories they may never have known. This blue plaque commemorates Dorothea Mackellar OBE who penned the iconic words 'I love a sunburnt country' to describe the Australian landscape in one of Australia's best-known poems, 'Core of my heart', also known as 'My country'.
