Delivery
We deliver products Australia-wide using Australia Post. Shipping costs are determined by the size and weight of the product and your location; exact shipping costs are calculated in the shopping cart and will be added to the order total before checkout.
Orders are usually dispatched within 5 business days and shipping times are estimated at between 3-7 business days, depending on your location within Australia.
Depending on the products you have ordered, you may receive multiple shipments.
The time taken for an item to reach to you once it has been despatched depends on where it has been sent from.
Payment is taken in full when your order is placed. Please ensure the delivery address and receiver's name for your order is accurate and complete (including any business name if shipping to a work address) as we are unable to change any details once the order has been placed.
We will endeavour to supply all orders placed via this site. All products are listed for sale in good faith, but it is possible a supplier may notify us that a title is currently unavailable or no longer available. Upon receipt of this information from a supplier our online customer service team will contact you to inform you of the cancellation or delay of your order.
Returns
We have a 14-day return policy, which means you have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
To start a return, you need to contact us at info@nationaltrust.com.au. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. You are responsible for return shipping fees, and it is your responsibility to ensure we receive the returned item, so please remember to keep the tracking number (free and available for all Australia Post parcels).

Product Description
Seeing the unseen in nature, the arts, and architecture
In Hidden in Plain Sight: Seeing the unseen in nature, the arts, and architecture, biographer and architectural historian Zeny Edwards invites readers into a meditative journey where language, nature, art, and architecture converge.
Non‑linear and fragmentary, Zeny's essays argue that true meaning lives in the absence beneath the layers of time and space, in the periphery, in the silence, and in the interplay of light and dark. She delves deeply into the intricacies of specificity, hyper-reality, antithesis and the essence of being present.
Zeny believes that by adopting the practice of“slow looking”, we can transform moments of everyday life into new and meaningful ways of enriching our connection with the world and ourselves.
Dr Zeny Edwards OAM is an architectural historian, award-winning biographer, cultural heritage consultant and human rights advocate. She has published biographies and monographs of Australian architects John Sulman and William Hardy Wilson and photographers Harold Cazneaux and Max Dupain, among others. She is noted for her architectural histories of historic properties in Australia and overseas.
Dr Edwards has served in various lead roles: she is the immediate past-president of the Australian Council for Human Rights Education, and was president of the National Trust of Australia (NSW), chair of UN Women Australia (NSW), and director of the UN Association of Australia Peace Program. She currently serves as President of the Institute for Global Peace and Sustainable Governance, Coordinator of International Relations at Australian Graduate Women, and member of the board of the Museum of Understanding Through Tolerance and Inclusion.
