North Shore (Sydney)
The North Shore is a primarily residential upper middle class area of northern metropolitan Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Since it is not clearly defined, there is some variation in its geographical limits. It usually includes the north shore of Sydney Harbour between Middle Harbour and the Lane Cove River, up to the northern border of the Ku-ring-gai local government area; less commonly, suburbs further west to the Ryde Bridge are also included, although this would also include what is known as the Northern Suburbs which is a separate locality.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or shore:
“Only let the North exert as much moral influence over the South, as the South has exerted demoralizing influence over the North, and slavery would die amid the flame of Christian remonstrance, and faithful rebuke, and holy indignation.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“The shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches, and is so steep that in many places a single leap will carry you into water over your head; and were it not for its remarkable transparency, that would be the last to be seen of its bottom till it rose on the opposite side. Some think it is bottomless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
