The suburb’s name is thought to have originated from the 19th century, as the land is located north of the river. Before the First Fleet arrived, the region was occupied by the Ku-ring-gai Aboriginal Tribe. It is fascinating to note that close to a fifth of the region’s land is recreational spaces. These include Tambourine Bay Park, Pottery Green, Tantallon Oval, and Burns Bay Park. These options are the perfect way to immerse yourself in an adventure in the wild. Enjoy a bushwalk in the beautiful oasis of Lane Cove National Park, or create the ideal waterfront picnic setting at Tambourine Bay Park. Stringybark Creek Reserve is also a chilled spot for picnicking and nature walks.

If you love history, you will appreciate the Carisbrook Historic House. This museum, the only one in Sydney, features a Victorian middle-class lifestyle. Take a tour of this museum and enjoy the fascinating commentary that furnishes you with information on different parts of the house. Wind up the tour with a walk along the banks of the river and soak in the tranquility of it.
