Allambie Heights is a suburb of northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Allambie Heights is located 17 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of Warringah Council and is part of the Northern Beaches region.[2]
Landmarks
Allambie Heights is surrounded by the serene and relatively untouched Manly Dam Reserve (also known as War Memorial Reserve) which is the habitat for a number of species of plants and animals. The area is also home to a number of Australian Aboriginal rock carvings. The Garigal National Park sits on the western border. To the north Allambie Heights is bordered by Allenby Park, which includes small patches of rainforest. [3] Bushfires have destroyed much of the bushland area in recent years. The suburb has also been at the centre of news stories which include the rallies to ban urban development projects which locals fear will damage the natural state of the bush.[citation needed]
History
Allambie is an Aboriginal word that means "peaceful place". Long-term locals refer to a 'goat track' that roughly follows the existing Allambie Road today, which was most likely used by the Aboriginal people to access the ocean beaches at nearby Manly. The suburb was developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Many of the streets in Allambie Heights are named after battles where Australian Troops served, and prominent allied political leaders of World War Two. These include Owen Stanley Avenue, Kirra Road, Lybia Crescent, Derna Crescent, Tobruk Avenue, Anzio Avenue, and Roosevelt Avenue and Churchill Crescent. [4]
Commercial Area
The main business area in Allambie Heights consists of a supermarket, newsagent, delicatessen, bakery, community centre and the local primary school. It is also home to the Warringah Acquatic Centre. The suburb is also home to a range of retirement villages including the Italian Scalabrini Village and the German Lutheran Homes. There are also a number of care centres for the disabled including The Sunnyfield Association, The Spastic Centre and Allambie Special School.
Street Gangs
There are many street gangs in Allambie Heights. The town is ruled by the gang called A-town. These people sit outside the chicken shop and waste their lives by siting their for almost every second of every day. They smoke and drive unregistered vehicles. Luckily, The Allambie Drifters will soon come along and sweep this criminal wave off the streets of Allambie Heights. Also, A-town sucks.
