Farrar St - named after Alderman F.H. Farrar, MBE, an alderman of Rockdale Council 1920-28. Previously called Gordon St. (Source:

It's a pretty street, running between Forest Rd and Wollongong Rd, with some lovely older houses. The most distinctive feature is the old fire station on the Forest Rd corner.

| It is very unusual to find a tennis court in the suburbs these days. I must revisit soon to see if this has been developed! |

| A lovely sandstone fence. The house has nice views because Farrar St is at the top of the Forest Rd ridge |

Great Post ^_^
I know this street very well, my kids went to the Preschool, My wife works at the Preschool and I prepared the DA to council so that they could accommodate more children, with funding provided by both State and Federal Govts.
I love this website sally
Of to Bermagui from Vaucluse this weekend. Via tacky hotel in Sussex Inlet to break the trip with the aim of swimming all the sea pool in NSW. Kids love the idea work mates think I am odd.
