[LINK] Tribute to Marghanita da Cruz in NSW Parliament

[Tom Worthington]

Another Linker has been recognized: Mr Jamie Parker MP, Member of the 
NSW Legislative Assembly for Balmain, rose to his feet at 1.20 pm on 14 
October 2015 to make a "Tribute to Marghanita da Cruz":

"I bring to the attention of the House a member of my local community, 
Marghanita da Cruz. In 1998 Marghanita began an online anecdotal history 
of Annandale, bringing to life the rich history of Sydney's inner west 
for a global readership. In 2009 Marghanita established the annual 
Eco-Annandale exhibition, which she continues to curate and which brings 
together work by local photographers, artists and scientists on the 
theme of environmental sustainability. Marghanita is an active member of 
her local precinct committee and Leichhardt Municipal Council's Heritage 
Committee.

Recognising the community's interest in Annandale's history and 
heritage, Marghanita is championing the Annandale Heritage Festival to 
complement the Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church's National 
Trust Fund annual open day. As part of the festival, Marghanita guides 
historical walks. Marghanita played a key part in the recent naming of 
Douglas Grant Memorial Park. I thank Marghanita for her online and 
offline activities that help to strengthen our community. 
Congratulations to a stalwart of the local community."
