Summer Hill After Dusk

An art mural in Summer Hill.

The residential suburb of Summer Hill, in the inner west, is exquisite even after dusk. This mainly residential suburb, about 8 km west of the metropolis, is mixed with flamboyancy and old but classic architectural designs.

Along Smith Street, various historic architectures stand still. One of them is the heritage-listed Summer Hill Post Office. Further along to the west are unusual houses which display Victorian influences with a touch of the structural design of the Federation era.

At the corner of Lackey Street and Hardie Avenue is a park with its fountain. Abundant cafes and restaurants as well as quirky shops are located in this area. One can also find a mural just near the park which gives a more relax and edgy feel of the suburb.
