Sydney Writers Walk

The plaques were installed to honour and celebrate the lives and works of well-known Australian writers, as well as notable overseas authors, such as D. H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad and Mark Twain, who lived in or visited Australia.

[1] Quotes from a significant work and some biographical information about the writer are stamped onto each plaque,[2] along with an excerpt of the author's writing.

[3] The walk was created by the NSW Ministry for the Arts in 1991, and the series was extended when a further 11 plaques were added in 2011.

The same is true for Oodgeroo Noonuccal, who died in 1993; Judith Wright (d. 2000); A. D. Hope (d.2000); Dorothy Hewett (d.2002), and Ruth Park (d.2010).

In 2014 the Rotary Club of Sydney Cove published a guide to the Walk.
