>> An Introduction To Camperdown
Located in Sydney's inner west, Camperdown has a relaxed, local atmosphere. Featuring a vibrant student community, numerous parks and a wealth of trendy shops and pubs, Camperdown offers a suburban retreat that's only minutes from the city centre, Chinatown and Darling Harbour.
Established in the early 19th century, Camperdown is still lined with picturesque Victorian terraced houses, quaint old shopfronts and other heritage buildings, including the University of Sydney. Built in 1859, it is the oldest university in Australia, and worth wandering for its magnificent buildings and grounds. Explore the impressive antiquities and natural history museums, or admire the stunning collection of artworks at the University of Sydney Art Gallery.
Wander the heritage streets to find interesting one-off shops. On and around Parramatta Road you'll find an excellent variety of new and used items including vinyl records, musical instruments, furniture, fashion and more. Head to neighbouring Newtown and Glebe to browse dozens more eclectic shops. Or browse more than 100 major retailers and specialty shops at Broadway Shopping Centre.
Camperdown offers a wide range of eating and drinking options, from modern Australian to international cuisine, from funky cafes to laidback gastropubs. Sip a macchiato at Deus Ex Machina while admiring the custom-built motorcycles. Or enjoy a relaxing meal and drink at one of the many old-fashioned pubs converted into trendy bars. You might catch a leading band or two at the historic Annandale Hotel, one of Sydney's best live music venues.
When it comes to relaxing, Camperdown has plenty of parks and sports facilities. Beautiful Victoria Park is a great spot for picnics and outdoor activites, with extensive parklands, a swimming pool, cafe and children's playground. Wander the pathways and marvel at Lake Northam and its resident ducks. O'Dea Reserve is also a good spot for families, with barbecue and picnic facilities, a shaded playground and dog exercise area. Alternatively, Camperdown Park features a sports ground, tennis centrs, basketball court, bowls club and playground.
