Who you meet

Getting there

No station inside the boundary.

17 bus routes call at one of the 30 stops inside the suburb, on the Transport for NSW timetable. Everyone starts in Newtown; Surry Hills is a walk, a bus or a ferry from there.

The council and the Country

Surry Hills is in Council of the City of Sydney, on Gadigal Country. The acknowledgement on the welcome card is the council's own (source). The boundary is the council's; the streets, parks and building footprints are OpenStreetMap, drawn at 25 cm per pixel.

Every suburb, and who is on the corner.
