New South Wales (Sydney Region)

Woy Woy
Named from the aboriginal word for water, Woy Woy is almost completely surrounded by the lake-like Brisbane Water. One of the oldest towns in the region, first land grants being in 1794, Woy Woy was a popular holiday spot for Sydneysiders at the turn of the century. These days Woy Woy could nearly be considered on outer suburb of Sydney. While retaining its small town charm it is still popular with visitors and a haven for boating and fishing enthusiasts. Woy Woy can be reached from Sydney by train on the Sydney - Newcastle railway. wpeC7.jpg (30302 bytes)
