Local Insights:
Throsby Precinct
Along the Throsby Creek Loop, spring brings waterbirds, kayakers, and cyclists sharing the trail. Carrington’s historic wharves and warehouses give the area a quiet, character-filled charm, while Young Street hums with village life.

Ground Up Espresso, Carrington
Maryville’s waterside townhouses and terraces attract young couples, and Tighes Hill blends an ‘Inner West’ feel with thriving cafés and a sought-after primary school. In Wickham, terraces and converted warehouses sit beside new apartments close to the light rail, while Islington’s eclectic mix of heritage homes and creative energy continues to evolve. Together, the Throsby suburbs balance history and reinvention, all within minutes of the city.

DID YOU KNOW?
Carrington was originally called Onebygamba, meaning “a large island” by the local Worimi and Awabakal peoples. It was later named Chapman Island, Bullock Island, and finally Carrington in 1887 after the state governor.
