City of Canada Bay Library

The Local Studies collection at the City of Canada Bay Library provides access to a specialised reference collection that covers all aspects of the City of Canada Bay Local Government Area.
The 'Canada Bay Connections' project aims to preserve the library's photographic collection and at the same time provide the Canada Bay community with greater access to their local heritage by making the images accessible through the internet.

The road north

The road north from Sydney had to traverse forest, hills and deep river valleys, and a number of routes were developed before the Pacific Highway became the main northern road.
