Burwood Area

One of Sydney’s smaller local government areas, Burwood is characterised by high‑rise living, parklands and a thriving Asian food scene. The grand Victorian architecture of Burwood Road sits alongside modern apartment towers, and Burwood Park offers a green retreat with a lake, playgrounds and sporting facilities. The Westfield shopping centre draws many visitors, but locals seek out cheap and cheerful dumplings in a nondescript arcade and enjoy quiet lunches on a hidden terrace garden high above the bustle of the main street.
