This is North of Hornsby. Hornsby calls itself the "Bushland Shire" .this is in reference of it's location.Hornsby Shire is a local government area in the North shore region of sydney, Australia. The northen half of hornsby shire remains a semi-rural area, retaining a number of farmlands and market gardens.This picture is uploaded here because although i dont walk the bush that often many people of this country do.

Many of the place names in Hornsby Shire are derived from Aborional words. It was Copeland who named Ku-ring-gai Chase after one of the local tribes, while 'Chase' word meaning an enclose land were animals are kept for hunting.

The eastern half,centred on Florence street, was pedestrianised in the early 1990's.It is now dominated by large Westfeild shopping centre, which incl;udes two department stores, a cinema multiplex, a food cout and several xcelent restaurants. This mall is plays a big part in hornsby, my friends and I spend every lunch hour there, we don't don't often go back to tafe afterwards.

There are low-to-medium denisty housings on both sides of Hornsby.Although in the last few years a number of high rise apartments were being built at the south-eastern side of Hornsby, completly transforming hornsby's skyline.

This is jacks cafe.It is run by fusion, it is a local youth cafe run by young people for young people.

The hornsby town centre remains a busy railway town, just as it was a century ago; it's railway station cotinues to provide frequent railway service to the central business district via strathfeild (the northern line) or north sydney (the north shore line), as well as trains to the central coast, newcastle and even further north. Over the years the two sides of the northern railway line have deleloped their distinct characteristics. This photos is on here cause with out the station I would not be able to get home ach day.

watn some cheap scones and coffee, the elders at this centre supposedly make really yummy scones, this obviously plays a big in hornsby for the older woman who need somewhere to go and have a chat or just to catch up with their friends just like us young people go to a youth centre. hopefully when i am in my old age i will have somewhere like this to go.

The western half consistsof a traditional high street shopping village along the old pacific highway. A short section of the highway north of the shops still has several antique lamp posts preserved; on the eastern are (from south to north) the police station, the court house, and the historic Hornsby shire council chamber (built in two stages between 1907 and 1930), beautifully restored and stillused for it's orriganal purpose.on the western side is a park with a swimming pool, with a vast bushland beyond it. A large was memorial and the adjacent RSL club is located at southern end of the shops.
