Funeral director in Warrawee


Warrawee's railway station has no shops or commercial activity at all, which is unusual on the Sydney network. The name is believed to come from an Aboriginal word meaning rest a while or stop here. The suburb is known for its architect designed homes, among them Pibrac of 1888, built for Frederick Eccleston Du Faur to a John Horbury Hunt design, and Exley House in Finlay Road, the only red brick single storey house Harry Seidler designed.
