| 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. |
