THE SHILLING WALL
Launched in May 2008, the Shilling Wall commemorates amazing women from all walks of life. The fourth and final panel was erected in 2011. The Shilling Wall is inscribed with the names of over 600 incredible women, celebrating their roles as mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, sisters, friends, colleagues and community members. These women may be teachers, politicians or journalists. They may be your daughter, partner, sister, mentor or friend. However different they may be, they all share in the fact that that they have been recongnised and paid tribute by someone who values their contribution to the world around them. The Shilling Wall is a public art sculpture designed by artist Cassandra Fahey representing a green hedge made of glass that acknowledges the important role of women. The Victoria Women’s Honour roll continues this tradition.
Where can I find a list of the women on the Shilling Wall?
We have created an online version of the Shilling Wall where you can search for the women who have been honoured on the Wall. Each woman can be found, along with the statement relating to their achievements, and the person who made the tribute. These statements, made by the nominee, have not been edited or updated. They are true to the nomination at the time of submission.
