Living in Warrawee
Warrawee is a suburb on the Upper North Shore of Sydney, located 21 kilometres north-west of the Sydney Central Business District in the local government area of Ku-ring-gai Council.
History
Warrawee is believed to have come from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘stop here’, after residents in the early 19th century demanded the train do exactly that. Although objected by the Railway Commissioners, Warrawee Train Station opened in 1900, despite the distance between this station and neighbouring Wahroonga being the shortest on the line at just 1km.
Transport Links
The station is located on the North Shore Line of the CityRail network and runs regular services to the City and CBD. Warrawee is well serviced by buses and is also situated on the Pacific Highway. The nearby F3 Freeway can have you at the Central Coast in around 40 minutes.
Recreation and Shopping
Warrawee benefits from its close proximity to the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, and the sporting and recreational facilities of neighbouring suburbs. Westfield Hornsby, St Ives Shopping Village and The Macquarie Centre at North Ryde will keep shoppers busy.
Schools
Warrawee Public School can be found in the suburb, with a vast selection of pre-schools, primary and secondary schools to be found in neighbouring Wahroonga and Turramurra.
