- Hurstville City Centre Walking Tour, Sydney Australia.
Hurstville is a suburb in southern Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is 16 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD and is part of the St George area. Hurstville is the administrative centre of the local government area of the Georges River Council.
The name Hurstville is derived from the English 'hurst', meaning 'a wooded eminence' and 'ville' meaning 'town'.
Hurstville's residential developments are a mixture of low-density housing, medium-density flats, and high-density apartment buildings.
Hurstville has become a central business district for the southern suburbs of Sydney. It is a large, multiethnic suburb with a multitude of commercial buildings and high-rise residential buildings dominating the skyline.
The commercial area is centred on the main street, Forest Road, on the northern side of Hurstville Railway station. Forest Road is the main shopping street which features branches of many retail shops as well as numerous banks and other financial institutions. The commercial developments also extend to surrounding streets concentrated from Queens Road to The Avenue and on the southern side of Hurstville Railway station, around Ormonde Parade. The commercial developments extend further along Forest Road, west towards Penshurst and east towards Bexley.
Hurstville has two major shopping centres, Westfield Hurstville and Hurstville Central. There are also a few smaller shopping centres such as Hurstville Times Plaza, East Quarter, Metro Centre, Hurstville City Centre, Union Arcade and Hurstville Arcade (formerly Jolleys Arcade and Woolworths Arcade).
The administrative offices of the City of Hurstville are located in the Hurstville Civic Centre in MacMahon Street. This street also features a number of historic buildings such as the Friendly Pharmacy, old Fire Station, Ritz Hotel and the St George Regional Museum, which houses the cake decorating collection formerly held at the Australian Cakes and Sugar Art Museum. Hurstville City Library is located nearby on Queens Road.
Hurstville railway station is a major station on the Illawarra line of the Sydney Trains network. All Suburban and all Intercity trains stop at Hurstville. Hurstville is 20 minutes from Sydney Central railway station on the express service. Hurstville is a major bus interchange with bus services departing from Forest Road and Ormonde Parade. Hurstville is also serviced by St George Community Transport, a HACC funded transport service for the Frail Aged, people with disability and their carers.
The first European settlers in the area were mostly of British and Irish ancestry. From the late 1960s, Hurstville, like many surrounding areas, became home to migrants from all around the world. The first wave of migrants included Greeks and Italians who began moving south from Sydney's inner-city suburbs. They were followed by more European migrants, including many from the former Yugoslavia.
From the 1990s, the Chinese community within Hurstville has grown considerably. Much of this was related to significant migration from Hong Kong during the 1990s and migration from Mainland China during the 2000s. Many local businesses are operated by people of Chinese background, the interests of which are advanced by the St. George Asian Business Association. Hurstville is a hub for Asian groceries, food and services.
According to the 2016 Australian Bureau of Statistics Census of Population, there were 29,822 residents in Hurstville. 27.8% of people were born in Australia. The most common countries of birth were China 36.9%, Nepal 7.1%, Hong Kong 4.0%, Indonesia 1.8% and India 1.5%. 18.1% of people only spoke English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Mandarin 32.3%, Cantonese 17.9%, Nepali 7.2%, Arabic 2.8% and Greek 2.5%. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 42.7%, Catholic 11.8%, Hinduism 8.2% and Buddhism 8.1%. The most common ancestries in Hurstville were Chinese 49.4%, English 6.6%, Nepalese 6.6%, Australian 5.1% and Greek 2.9% and 1.3% Filipinos.

10 years wowwww

I go to Hurstville every week almost. Its great for Asian food and shopping. Very hard to get parking around lunchtime.
Its very asian influenced, and you feel like you are no longer in Australia.
Can be a bit grubby around the memorial area especially at night.
Thanks for sharing.
Jim.
It's true, very hard to get parking. Very busy on the weekend. It's a great place for shopping and many restaurants. Thanks for watching 😊
evogardens It is clearly known as one of Sydney’s largest Asian communities. That’s why you see a lot of the influence on local shops, with the many local Chinese restaurants reflecting the culture of the population.
@@nicholetheotter1957 Yes, its quite handy, especially on public holidays, when most of the shops are still open.
evogardens As the description says, over 40% of the local population are Asian, particularly Chinese, whether born in China or coming from Chinese background. It’s also known as one of Sydney’s popular destinations for cultural events, as its local Lunar New Year festival is among some of the most visited celebrations of its kind in Sydney alone. The influence of the local Asian culture is also noticed with the dragon in the logo of Georges River Council.
@@nicholetheotter1957 Oh wow, I didn't even read the description. Its so detailed and informative. Thanks Nichole.
Lived here in 1995 and 1997 beautiful place all nationalities too 👍
Good to hear that 👍🏻. Thank you 🙏😊
Miss it so much. At the entrance of the station, there is a donut store at the corner. I miss the vietnamese restaurant, and there is a second hand store nearby the restaursnt. The sushi stall in front of the lowes so delicious. I love typo in the wesfield if im not mistaken. I miss the florist nearby my auntie house.
my old stomping ground as a younger fella in 2004/ '05 and '06. lived in beverly hills and would walk over there.
I am so happy that I have found your channel. I have left Sydney 11 years ago and I cannot tell you how much I miss it. Great quality videos. Keep it up :-)
Welcome to the channel. I upload video regularly, click the notification bell and stay tuned. Thank you 😊
Gemini Gurl so where did you move to? I miss Sydney too, I left Sydney to live in Los Angeles and recently moved to Sacramento. Both are shabby places next to Sydney. San Francisco is about 90 minutes away and is an incredible place but who can afford to live there?
@@davidlang1125 I have moved to a small town in Sweden. I hate it here.
Gemini Gurl can you move to Stockholm or other large city?
@@davidlang1125 no. Very difficult. Planning to move back to Sydney maybe in the next couple of years.
Walking walking me like relaxing from 🇲🇨
Great video thanks
You're welcome. Thank you 🙏😊
Only place in Sydney where I feel safe as an Asian
I like Trains
This is where I'm interested but I've never been. Nice!
it looks like hong kong in the 90s. cant wait to see what hurstville will look like in 20 years.
It will look like Wuhan.
I miss Sydney so much 😔😪
I was born in marrickville Sydney
I lived there up until year 2000
I know live in Wollongong, I hate it full of **** people
One thing I loved about Sydney from any point of the compass
you could go north south east or west
Plenty of things to do and see
I miss it so much but now if I went there I would get lost
Lots of changes but better I suppose?!
Yes, a lot of changes in Sydney. I will film Marrickville too one day. Stay tuned and turn on the notification bell. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻😊
JESSICA NOLDE I feel the same. I grew up in Homebush. Lived in the eastern suburbs when I went to uni. And I lived on the north shore after I graduated. I now live in the cow town of Sacramento, the Capitol of California after living in one of the ugliest cities in the world for a few decades, Los Angeles. So yes I miss Sydney too.
If I was to move back to Oz I’d live in a place like Hurstville because it’s compact, has great amenities, terrific transit, close to the city and has great Chinese food!
i love this woman
Hurstville is like Eastwood except it's clean.
My daughter (from Forest Park, Illinois, USA) lives in Hurstville with her husband.
