Canterbury‑Bankstown Region

This diverse pocket of south‑western Sydney hums with the flavours and traditions of its many communities. Bustling shopping strips and leafy parks sit side by side, while the Cooks River offers cycling paths and picnic spots away from the traffic. The area is renowned for its vibrant food scene, with Lebanese, Vietnamese and Chinese eateries drawing diners from across the city. Among the industrial estates you’ll find a small craft brewery with a cult following, and just off Chapel Road there is an unassuming bakery whose banh mi and pâté chaud are whispered about by locals.
