Arncliffe is a working class suburb in the inner south of Sydney, approx 10 kms (12 minutes by train) from central Sydney. It's never going to make a list of Sydney's most fashionable suburbs (though it was once - 150 years ago!) It's where I've lived for the past 22 years, and I love it, so I want to share some of its quirky bits, history, and, yes, beautiful parts, with whoever is interested.

Hi,
Had a call from an old school friend from St. Francis Xavier's School, 60's era. Feeling rather nostalgic I surfed the web for info on Arncliffe and found your site. Really great looking at all those photos. Can remember some of those buildings used travel past some of them going to & from school. I actually lived in Atkinson Street. So spent more time in Gardiners Park than Arncliffe Park. Was such a great area to grow up in. Revisited a few years back and took photos, much has changed. I was actually born at Rosslyn Hospital so Arncliffe will always be home in a way. Nice to see someone really loves where they live. cheers Mary T, Bega NSW
Hi there I also was born in Roslyn Private Hospital on the 3rd of September 1928.
I grew up in homes in Duncan st.,Waratah st. and Mount st.
I began school at Arncliffe primary school.
My father was a fireman at Arncluiffe fire station.
I still feel like an Arncliffe boy.
