Trevor Kennedy Collection: Highlights exhibition features extraordinary historic objects
Over 500 Australian historical artefacts and decorative arts objects drawn from the internationally recognised Trevor Kennedy Collection are now on display at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra.
This is the first time Australiana objects from the Trevor Kennedy Collection have been available for public viewing.
To acknowledge the Museum’s largest and most significant acquisition, the Museum’s Forecourt bush garden has been named in recognition of Christina and Trevor Kennedy.
The exhibition showcases 573 objects from some 5,000 acquired by the Museum in 2020 through its largest acquisition, a combination of a purchase by the Museum of over $8 million and a donation by Mr Kennedy valued at about $7 million.

A world title-winner at featherweight, super-featherweight and lightweight, the tall, rangy and explosive Arguello inspired a generation of fighters in his native Nicaragua, including current lower-weight great Roman Gonzalez.
3. JOSE NAPOLES
Nicknamed “Mantequilla” (“Butter”) on account of his smooth boxing style, the highly skilled Napoles twice ruled the roost in the welterweight division, where he defeated the likes of Curtis Cokes and Emile Griffith.
4. BENNY LYNCH
Widely regarded as the best boxer to come out of Scotland, Lynch was small in stature but a monster when it came to punching power. Fighting as a flyweight, he achieved universal recognition as champion.

Put aside the multimillion dollar investment in the All-Star Mile to promote racing relevance, the sport’s biggest ticket right now is, and continues to be Jamie Kah.
Jockey, not “female jockey”, nothing to do with Michelle Payne, or any of those who worked hard to achieve before her, Kah is without question racing’s No. 1 star.
So she loses the ride on Nature Strip because of borders, despite chaperoning him to a Group 1 Lightning Stakes win. That was Group 1 No. 4, and achieved on a far from easy horse to manage.
Ash Barty in tennis, Sam Kerr in soccer, Elyse Perry in cricket, surfing, basketball, swimming stars, add whatever sport you like, all mentioned in similarly comparable terms to Kah, the relevance is irrelevant, the focus on the talent and achievement and marketability is what’s important.
