Surry Hills
Surry Hills near the centre of Sydney was once a farming area owned by Foveaux. His property was known as Surry Hills Farm named after the Surrey Hills in Surrey, England.
Foveaux Strait in New Zealand is named in his honour, as are streets in Airds, Barden Ridge, Bella Vista, Cromer, Harrington Park, Lurnea, Metford and Surry Hills (all in NSW) and Ainslie (ACT).

Famous quotes containing the word hills:
“He told of the Magnolia, spread
High as a cloud, high over head!
The Cypress and her spire;
MOf flowers that with one scarlet gleam
Cover a hundred leagues, and seem
To set the hills on fire.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
