	Central railway station, Sydney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The remoteness of "Central" from the commercial centre of Sydney stimulated the construction of the Sydney underground railways at an earlier date than the equivalent in Melbourne, where the main stations were in the CBD.
		The original Sydney Station was opened on 26 September 1855 in an area known as "Cleveland Fields." This station (one wooden platform in a corrugated iron shed), which was known at the time as Redfern, had Devonshire Street as its northern boundary.
		Central station is also the location for the Central light rail station, the eastern terminus of the Metro Light Rail line in Sydney, which runs for 7.2km between the station and the terminus, Lilyfield light rail stop.

		En route is a beautiful rockpool complete with little waterfall for a nice dip, some deserted beaches, a number of deer and also will almost certainly see (in spring anyways) the flannel flower.
		I'm wary of the zigzag railway stop, since you have to ask the train conductor to make a special stop (what about the pickup?) and anyway it looks like a pretty short ride for the trouble of getting there.
		Furthermore to the north of Sydney I think there are nice walking tracks accessable from ferries departing Palm Beach, which my stupid book ignores and instead points to other inaccessable ones nearby.

		There was bush all around us, and a farm across the road, but it was only a mile to a railway station and there were plenty of houses even if it was a half-hour walk to a shop.
		I grew up on the very edge of the sprawling metropolis of Sydney, where it was not quite bush, and not quite outer suburb.
		I ate blackberries on the hoof and sat by Holy waterfall and drank from its stream -- until about 1966 when housing encroached on Paradise and my mates got a bad dose of the back-door trots from drinking the water.
