BriD Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 From what I understand a SHIRE is another word for Municipality here. There is one Municipality known as Sutherland Shire which is affectionately called " The Shire". This is on the other side of Botany Bay. If this is the area you are looking in. ..I would be able to help in some degree as we live in the Shire Lots of great suburbs in this area. .. Too name a few Caringbah, Oyster Bay (I live here), Como, Jannali, Gymea North. I have not been everywhere here yet but most areas are great. The only ones that might be a bit questionable are Miranda and Sutherland and also Cronulla (only because being right on the beach and very vibey attracts noisy sometimes drunken teens and young adults on weekends and nights) Message me if you want to talk more about the area. It is such a beautiful place. .. we love it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which are the Good schools in this area?Thanks so much Yes, this can be a bit confusing. As BriD mentions, there is the Sutherland Shire consisting of the suburbs she mentions and there is also the Hills Shire which consists of Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill, Kellyville, Cherrybrook etc. Two different Shires in Sydney located very far apart I might add.

Crossedover Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks for that ... I think since my husband is in exports and needs to be close to the port it must be Sutherland Shire...I would love the do's and don'ts of this area....School help would be great too... My daughters are going into yr3, yr6/7 and yr8....Thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riekie Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't think there are that many South Africans in Sutherland so you may not receive many responses about schools etc. in this area.
