Among the 16,000 exhibits by women from around Australia in the vast 1907 Australian Exhibition of Women's Work in Melbourne[1] organised by the Governor General's wife, Lady Northcote,[2] work by Binney was included,[3] beside paintings by Portia Geach, Eirene Mort, Dora Serle, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite and Agnes Goodsir.
[6] Another entry was a wooden dining set carved by sixty people including members of The Society of Arts and Crafts of NSW and designed by Susanne Gether.
[7] Binney was awarded several patents for inventions including a folding cot (1908),[8] a leg prosthesis, and a shoe-stand.
It became part of the Australian National Maritime Museum's collection and in the Museum's 1994/5 annual report is identified as 'the year's largest single conservation project,' sponsored by the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation for 640 hours of work by paper conservators when it was prepared for exhibition in their What About Women?
[11] Repairs had to be made to sections of the frieze to replace parts cut out around door frames when it was displayed in Binney's home.
