Warrawee
A Federation house, circa 1916, with a slate roof.
Discovered today along Pibrac Avenue, Warrawee, in Sydney.

Warrawee is a suburb of situated between Wahroonga and Turramurra, on the upper North Shore of Sydney. The name 'Warrawee' is believed to have come from an Aboriginal word meaning 'rest a while, stop here or to stand'. The suburb has a great deal of architectural history, with a number of houses designed by prominent architects. The earliest significant homes were Pibrac (1888), Cheddington (1890) and Wirepe (1893).
Anyway, I was there this morning for my first "walk" with the Turramurra walking group (a Heart Foundation walking group), followed by superb coffee from the very funky Kipling's Garage Bar Cafe, at Turramurra. This is an old motor mechanic's garage that has been converted into a cafe!!
And next week I am venturing aboard a walking group in Killara. So I will need to locate the East Killara shops, being the starting point.
And I also belong to the Wahroonga walking group which starts at the cool 'Patina Cafe'.
Working from home does have its advantages in terms of time flexibility. But who knows when we will all be ordered back to the office!!
