Step into the world of the Windeyers...
Richard, Maria, William Charles, and Mary.
A family whose legacy shaped social justice in Australia.
Richard fought in court for Aboriginal rights and freedom of speech.
Maria, widowed and in debt, ran their estate herself, in a time where a woman should know her place.
Their son, William Charles, championed women’s rights in law, introducing the Married Women’s Property Act and confronting violence against women as a Supreme Court judge.
And Richards wife Mary. She lit the fire of the suffrage movement, founding the Women’s Hospital and the Womanhood Suffrage League, pushing for a fairer, more equal future.
They didn’t just speak of justice, they lived it, generation after generation.
In our latest episode, we visit Tomago House to explore their home their legacy... and the lingering spirits that still walk the halls.
