Project: Sydney and Surrounds. Photo Walk 7. Surry Hills.

I enjoyed walking through Surry Hills streets. A lot of bright colours around. I think my whole story about Surry Hills is going to be about its colours :)

Surry Hills is an Inner city, eastern suburb of Sydney (located 1 km south-east of Sydney CBD, the local government of the City of Sydney).

3 facts about Surry Hills:

1. The first land grants in Surry Hills were made in the 1790s. Major Joseph Foveaux received 105 acres. His property was known as Surry Hills Farm, after the Surrey Hills in Surrey Hills in Surrey, England. Foveaux Street is named in his honour.

2. Surry Hills was favoured by newly arrived families after World War II when property values were low and accommodation was inexpensive. From the 1980s, the area was gentrified, with many of the area's older houses and building restored and many new upper middle-class residents enjoying the benefits of inner-city living.

3. Gelato Messina is located in Surry Hills (389 Crown St). The best ice cream I've ever tasted!
