Hornsby Shire Council
Hornsby Shire is one of Australia’s greenest places, and this is now also reflected in Council’s new gateway and suburb signage.
The design of the new signs responds to Hornsby’s Bushland Shire character with a two-tone motif reminiscent of the gum leaves that are prominent within the local bushland.
“We are proud to be the Bushland Shire and the community feedback clearly indicated that new signage should reflect Hornsby’s bushland character and wealth of natural resources,” Hornsby Shire Mayor Philip Ruddock said.
“The new signs also display the recognition of the traditional owners of Hornsby Shire lands, the Guringai and Darug Peoples, in a very prominent position.”
The untold histories of the Cooks River

The Cooks River holds a special place in my heart. I grew up alongside its cluttered depths; elusively beautiful. Sometimes it glittered blue and other times it smelt like rubbish. I used to roll down the miniature hills of Ewen Park, its playground and soccer fields located in the largely overlooked suburb of Hurlstone Park which cocoons the river I still live there today. I celebrated many birthday parties at the wooden picnic benches that are dotted along the waterway and made some of my first childhood friends on the swing sets that are grounded amongst brown mulch chips.
