Sylvania Waters, canals

This canal is in the southern suburb of Sylvania Waters, which has been built on land reclaimed from Gwawley Bay on the Georges River. Houses are built on a series of artificial islands with canals proviiding access. This was the location of one of the first factual/reality television series called 'Sylvania Waters', co-produced by Britain's BBC and Australia's ABC networks back in 1992, which followed the lives of a family that lived here.

  1. Oh yes! That was essential viewing for me and my friends back in England... Noeline and Laurie - the antithesis to Neighbours and Home and Away! Anyone for a midmorning JD and coke?
