==Biography==
Fairfax was born in Warsaw and emigrated to Australia as a small child with her parents. She attended the Presbyterian Ladies College, Sydney. She was formerly the owner of several Sydney dress shops before her marriage to solicitor Cedric Symonds, with whom she had one son, Garth. She married Warwick Fairfax in 1959 and they had three children, Warwick Fairfax, Anna and Charles.
Fairfax moved to Manhattan, New York, in 1988. She purchased a penthouse known as Chateau in the Sky, on top of the Pierre Hotel, Fifth Avenue, for US$12,000,000. She returned to Australia in 1999, feeling she had never been entirely accepted into New York society. The penthouse in Manhattan eventually became New York's most expensive penthouse and was put up for sale in 2013 for an asking price of US$125,000,000. Previous tenants had included John Paul Getty, Elizabeth Taylor, Yves Saint-Laurent and Mohamed al-Fayed.〔(Domain.com )〕
After the death of her husband Sir Warwick in 1987, Fairfax continued to live in the family home, ''Fairwater'', which had been owned by the Fairfax family since 1900.〔(State Heritage Register )〕
