Heart of heritage
Lois Michel is a Concord icon. When the City of Canada Bay Heritage Society formed in 1969, she was its first secretary.
Almost five decades later, Lois remains passionate about the heritage of the suburb she has lived in for 65 years.
“I bought a house in Concord in 1952 and I’ve lived in the same house since. Concord has lost its small village atmosphere, which is normal in these times, but it’s still a good place to live.”
When she first moved in, Lois knew nothing of the Dame Eadith Walker Estate, which sits on 37 hectares.
Through her role with the Heritage Society, Lois has become invested in the estate and its history.
“It is a gem. Such beautiful grounds situated to close to the central business district, still on the original land grant.”
As a member of the Yaralla Estate Advisory committee, Lois hopes many in the area can enjoy the Yaralla Estate and be more aware of its history and beauty.
“It is a truly unique part of history and it needs to be preserved.”
