Where is hurlstone park nsw

Hurlstone Park Village: We were pleasantly surprised by this, there's only 3 cafes and about half a dozen shops, but the 3 cafes are all amazing. Great food, great coffee, great atmosphere. All feel very local with everybody talking to everybody and the staff learn your names quickly. Both are sports bars with very sports bar vibes. They both do great food though oddly enough, and are both nice enough to have a drink at. If you're into sports bars you will love them, if not then they are good enough if you don't want to travel.

Hurlstone park has none of this yet, in 5 or 10 maybe 20 years it will as New Canterbury Road slowly gets redeveloped, but in the meantime Dulwich Hill is a lovely little town that's only a 10 minute walk away. It only has a handful of bars and restaurants worth going to, but they are there none the less.

Marrickville was voted the best suburb in Australia and Petersham is always nice for a change. Beaches: Probably the only downside. Botany Bay is 20 minutes away, but it's not really worth going to. The Eastern Suburbs beaches are only a 30 minute drive normally, but on nice days when the traffic to the beach picks up it can easy be 40 or 50 minutes. Shopping: There's plenty around - Both supermarkets and retail. There's also local supermarkets closer.

We recently moved to this area from Leichhardt. We had a crush at first sight. It has many historic buildings, it is very family friendly. Ewen Park is a great place to spend the weekend with the kids, and the town center has a very nice feeling.

Every time we sit at Dora's bakery on Saturdays, we see our neighbours, which is very nice. It also has a number of good hairdressers and excellent butcher!

We wake to the birds singing in the morning, which sounds so peaceful. So far it's been our favourite part of the Inner West. Where do I start.. Hurlstone park is great for professionals and families. It has everything you need and more with the park nearby. There are buses to the city from Canterbury station that take you there via Marrickville and Newtown and Sydney University. It's a min drive to Marrickville eateries, and organic markets.

There is Aldi and Woolworths supermarkets in Canterbury, with parking you can also walk there. Don't forget Charlie's Bakery for great haloumi, spinach or meat and cheese pizzas they make the best!

Located on Canterbury road near Aldi and there is also the famous Baalbek lebanese bakery fresh pita break baked daily.

Local cafes - Baked by Dora and her amazing cakes. There is also the Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL with restaurants, events, fitness classes and pilates at great prices. A great little community. There is Canterbury hospital and medical centres not far away. The cooks river for exercise and fresh air. All up It's not a matter of what it has, but a matter of what does not have?

It's got everything you can think of, ticks all the boxes, so close to the city and everything and yet, i wake up with the birds! Some people on the reviews say that it's not good for night life!??? How can you complain when you're so close to the city???! Catch a bus, a cab, a train, light rail and you are litteraly anywhere you want in 5 min.

You can even walk to dulwich hil or summer hill! Best place ever! Beautiful suburb for all ages! Seriously, what a ridiculous post. To rate a suburb 1 star based on a single issue that isn't actually an issue is very poor, dishonest and completely missing the point of Hurlstone Park.

In the 7 years we've lived here, air quality has never been an issue at all. A hidden gem of the Inner West! While searching the Inner West looking to buy, we fell in love with Hurlstone Park and ended up buying here almost a year ago.

It has the perfect balance of peace and practicality, and we love the quiet streets, friendly neighbours and leafy parks, while having the convenience of a minute drive or train trip into the city.

Having lived in Marrickville for 5 years previously, what attracted us most to Hurlstone Park were the larger block sizes and better value for money, and we've been rewarded with some nice perks, too, such as the Cooks River Parklands which is great for cycling, walking and picnics etc.

The light rail from Dulwich Hill station 10 mins' walk is great, with easy stress-free access to the Fish Markets, Darling Harbour and the City. There's virtually no through-traffic which makes it quite and safe.

The shopping village is small but has a nice feel to it with all the essentials - handy little supermarket, great butcher, tasty pizza joint, good barber, newsagent and an awesome bottle shop. The only downside so far is the lack of dining and coffee options in the main street at present, but with the zoning changes and many new apartment blocks going up along Canterbury Rd, this will surely change in the next few years as more young people move into the area.

Having said that, there are plenty of great eating and cafe options very close by, along Canterbury Rd, in Dulwich Hill and Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL, plus Marrickville is only 2 stations away and Newtown only 15 mins by train via either St Peters or Erskineville. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quite, leafy and friendly suburb that is still an easy commute in to the city.

We moved here from eastern suburbs and I just love how quiet it is! Even living close to the railway I'm just amazed to hear birds and cicadas instead of traffic and people noise we experienced in a place before. It has a very quiet and peaceful feel to it even though it's only 18min from the city!

New Dulwich hill light rail is 10min walk, Ashfield and Marrickville shopping centers 5min drive, Newtown 10min drive, beaches min drive depending which one you go to. Hurlstone park would still remain quiet and peaceful while still having access to all the areas nearby. People are super friendly, loads of families and very clean apart from canterbury rd but I've heard they are going to lift it up a bit. We moved here from the inner city in September.

We are down on the river and it is very quiet and peaceful. Great little shopping village, the little supermarket stocks a wide range and people still stop to pass the time of day. Feel very safe here and public tranaport links are excellent.

Love it! The suburb is great for young families and professionals. I have lived in nearby Ashbury for 18 years and have moved to Hurlstone Park to be closer to city bound transport and closer to the river and parklands. Nearby suburbs of Dulwich Hill and Summer Hill are becoming out of reach for most people, so there is alot of interest in Hurlstone Park. There are plenty of shopping options nearby and the convenience of the Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL which is one of the best clubs I have been too.

I moved here in and love it. It was a great little discovery and still is. The Cooks River parklands are enjoyable everyday of the year, even when it rains it is a great place to listen to the raindrops falling on the river and the leaves move in the wind. The rich clay deposits beside the creeks provided raw material for brickmakers Anthony and Richard Blamire and William and Elijah Pendlebury towards the end of the nineteenth century. In , Sophia Campbell re-subdivided her estate into smaller farms, naming Canberra Street after the locality of Duntroon, the Campbell family's estate in today's Australian Capital Territory.

Dunstaffenage, Duntroon, Kilbride, Melford and Crinan Streets commemorate landmarks in Scotland associated with the family's ancestors. Dairy farmers, brickmakers and land speculators bought some of the allotments, but many remained unsold until after the route of the branch railway from Marrickville to Belmore, passing through this land, was approved. When the new railway opened in , a railway station called Fernhill was located at the junction of Duntroon, Crinan and Floss streets.

It was named after Sophia Campbell's home near Bournemouth in Hampshire England , where she died in Some development occurred near the railway station at the time the line was opened, but the real building boom took place at the height of the Federation period, between the turn of the century and the end of World War I, when the small farms were subdivided into housing estates, and builders from Fernhill, Croydon, Ashfield and Marrickville were active all over the suburb.

Many of these new subdivisions were made by Sophia Campbell's nephew John Jeffreys of Canterton England and her great-nephew, George Darell Jeffreys, who inherited her estate. In a new post office was approved for Fernhill, but the Postmaster General's Department insisted that the name of the locality would need to be changed as there were already two post offices with that name, one in Victoria and one in Queensland.

A local referendum was held in conjunction with a municipal election, the choice being between Hurlstone, Fernboro or Garnett Hill. Hurlstone was selected. This was the name of a college that had been founded by John Kinloch on the site of today's Yeo Park, south Ashfield and given his mother's maiden name. Kinloch also owned land near Fernhill railway station. The Department of Railways agreed to the change provided that 'Park' was added to avoid confusion with Hillston in western New South Wales.
