Cammeray is a suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Cammeray is located north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of North Sydney Council. Cammeray is mostly a residential area. Some houses have waterfront access such as those in Cowdroy Avenue and the end of Cammeray Road, leading down to Folly Point. ==History== Cammeray is named after the ''Cammeraygal'', the Aboriginal tribe who once resided in the North Sydney area. Cammeray was the site of Sydney's first quarry, with sandstone blocks from the quarry making many of the first buildings in Sydney town. Cammeray was for a time the home of Joseph Palmer Abbott, Australian politician and solicitor. Abbott built ''Tarella'', a two-storey Italianate mansion in Amherst Street, c. 1886, on land he had acquired in 1881. Palmer Street in Cammeray was named after him. ''Tarella'' includes a coachhouse at the rear, with a distinctive clock tower. It is listed with the Heritage Council of New South Wales.〔(Heritage Council of New South Wales )〕 Amherst Street was named after William Pitt Amherst, who was Governor-General of India 1823-28.〔(Heritage Council of New South Wales )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cammeray, New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
