Living in Manly

Manly is a suburb of northern Sydney, located 17 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district and is the administrative centre of the local government area of Manly Council, in the Northern Beaches region.

History

Manly was named by Captain Arthur Phillip for the indigenous people living there, because of "their confidence and manly behaviour”. In the 1850s, Manly was envisaged as a seaside resort by Henry Gilbert Smith, who later built a wharf there and chartered paddle steamers for excursions which soon became a regular service. During the 19th and 20th Centuries Manly cemented its place as one of Australia’s most popular holiday resorts, due it’s large beach, laid back attitude and proximity to the City. The expression “Seven miles from Sydney and a thousand miles from care” was coined to promote the ferry service here, but the saying is still applicable today.

Transport Links

The most popular route to the City is the Manly Ferry Service from the wharf into Circular Quay, although the CBD can also be reached by the many bus services, or a drive over the Harbour Bridge or the tunnel.

Shopping and Recreation

The Corso is Manly’s main shopping area, with a good selection of fashion, surf shops, pharmacies, banks, restaurants and cafes. The Corso is also popular at night with a selection of bars and clubs. The beach is a popular destination all year round, with a beautiful coastal walk to the more secluded Shelley Beach, where snorkelling and kayaking are popular activities. Feeding the sharks at Oceanworld is popular for children, as well as watching the penguins on the wharf beach. Manly Golf Course and District Park are also close at hand.

Schools

St Keirans, St Pauls, Manly Vale Primary, Manly West Primary and Mackellar Girls High can all be found in Manly.
