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:
“We might hypothetically possess ourselves of every technological resource on the North American continent, but as long as our language is inadequate, our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling are still running in the old cycles, our process may be “revolutionary” but not transformative.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“... the reason I keep doing it is for the tremendous rush I get at the end of any great swim.... there is ... nothing greater than touching the shore after crossing some great body of water knowing that I’ve done it with my own two arms and legs.... I’m overwhelmed by the strength of my body and the power of my mind. For one moment, just one second, I feel immortal.”
—Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
