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.
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?
