Cammeray, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cammeray is a suburb located on the lower north shore of Sydney, Australia. It is named after the Cammeraygal, the Aboriginal tribe who once resided in the North Sydney area. Cammeray is located within the North Sydney Municipality. Cammeray was Sydney's first quarry, with sandstone blocks from the quarry making many of the first buildings in Sydney town.
Miller Street, the main thoroughfare of Cammeray, is lined with restaurants influenced by Chinese, Thai and Italian cuisine, as well as several cafes, the local post office, two petrol stations and many other small businesses. Cammeray is the last of the south-bound bus stops for services that operate via the Warringah Freeway to Sydney's Central Business District, although other south-bound services do travel to North Sydney, Milsons Point and Crows Nest.
An ornate sandstone bridge spanning Tunks Park that once carried trams to Northbridge in the earlier half of the 20th century can be seen at the northern end of Cammeray. It is now a vital link to suburbs north of Cammeray, and is an easily recognised feature to people living in the surrounding area. Some houses in Cammeray have waterfront access such as those in Cowdroy Avenue and the end of Cammeray Road, leading down to Folly Point.
Cammeray Public School is situated on the corner of Palmer and Bellevue Streets.
The Green Park shopping area makes a small hamlet with-in the village of Cammeray, called Green Park.
Cricket and golf are both well represented with the Cammeray Cricket Club and Cammeray Golf Club.
