Project: Sydney and Surrounds. Photo Walk 6. Waverton, North Sydney

Next stop is Waverton! I've heard this a lot of times in North Shore trains. A few weeks ago, it was a first time I've visited Waverton! What can I say? Waverton is a lovely place, calm and peaceful! There is a nice view of Sydney CBD and Sydney Harbour Bridge from Balls Head (Thanks Anke for your recommendation to visit this place!)

Postcode: 2060

Population: 2807

Waverton is located 4 kilometers north of the Sydney CBD, in the local government area of North Sydney Council.

3 facts about Waverton:

1. Waverton was named in 1929 after the Waverton Estate of an early resident, Robert Old. The land once belonged to William Carr, who named it after an English village connected to his family.

2. Balls Head Reserve is a popular picnic destination especially when there are harbour fireworks.

3. The Coal Loader on the western side of Waverton peninsula is a very special site where many paths of history intersect. It was first a place of physical and spiritual sustenance for Aboriginal Australians. The Cammeraygal people lived on the peninsula for thousands of years. Evidence of their presence, in the form of a large rock carving, still survives at the site, which was protected and celebrated as central element of the newly-built Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability.
