After discovering the NSW Government had no system to support new immigrants, Caroline met every incoming ship to offer help with employment and accommodation. The cottage on Mill Street is one of two terraced dwellings that Caroline converted into an immigrant hostel. Known as Caroline Chisholm Cottage, it is believed to be the nation&rsquo;s only surviving site of her charitable works. In honour of her tireless contribution, her face was featured on our first five-dollar note.</p>

    <div><p>In February 1907, the Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club became Australia&rsquo;s first recorded surf lifesaving club. The founding members established the Club with the central aim of &lsquo;the rescue of the distressed&rsquo; in recognition that sea bathing was a danger for those who weren&rsquo;t used to swimming at Sydney&rsquo;s beaches. Other clubs then began to form nearby, leading to the establishment of the Surf Bathing Association of New South Wales (now Surf Life Saving NSW). These clubs spread nationwide, solidifying surf lifesavers as an iconic symbol of Australia.</p><p>The Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club remains in operation to this day, rescuing over 12,000 swimmers and surfers every year.</p></div>
