Funeral director in Narara


Narara's name traces to a local Aboriginal term for black snake, which appears on the emblem of Narara Valley High School. Once a district of orchards and small farms, it sent water from small dams through wooden pipes across Narara Creek to supply steam trains at the station. Today it is home to the Narara Ecovillage, the annual Ecoburbia festival, the Central Coast Miniature Railway and St Philip's Christian College.
