Compost Revolution

Did you know? The average NSW household wastes $3,800 worth of food each year. Once food waste reaches landfill, acids poison the groundwater trickling into our water supply. That’s why composting is your best alternative! Find out how you can reduce your climate change footprint.

The Extraordinary Life of Katharine Gatty

The extraordinary life of suffragette Katharine Gatty came to an end in the Loreto Convalescent Home in Albert Road, Strathfield in 1952. A journalist and later a nurse, she became a prominent member of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in London before World War I. With the motto ‘Deeds, not words,’ Katharine joined their campaign of civil disobedience, smashing windows and chaining herself to the gates of Hyde Park. Imprisoned nine times, she embarked on several hunger strikes and was force-fed, receiving the Hunger Strike Medal from the WSPU. She spent her last years in Strathfield.
