North Turramurra is a northern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is a sister suburb of Turramurra. North Turramurra is home to the sphinx war memorial. This 1.5 m high replica of the Great Sphinx of Egypt was carved out of sandstone in the 1920s by a returned soldier, in memory of fallen comrades. The suburb is a popular starting point for many bush walkers as it has easy access to Bobbin head, the upper reaches of Cowan Creek and St Ives Chase.

The suburb is characterised by a close-knit community and has a strong community group known as NTAG (North Turramurra Action Group), which is one of the most active and successful community groups in the Ku-ring-gai area.

[edit] Geography

It lies on a narrow spur between two creeks (including Lovers Jump Creek) that flow eventually to the sea through the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park on the northern outskirts of the city. The heavily forested valleys pose a bush-fire threat each summer, but residents are blessed with common sightings of a wide variety of peculiar and beautiful native wildlife; this is one suburb where you often see wallabies hopping around back yards.
