Upper North Shore is in Sydney.

[edit] Understand

The Upper North Shore, generally reckoned to start around Chatswood and stretching all the way north to the Hawkesbury River, consists of mainly residential and bushland suburbs with relatively low density housing.

As one of the older residential areas of Sydney, the North Shore is also known for its extensive gardens and mature European trees, making it one of the most attractive areas within the Sydney metropolitan area. This is particularly true in November of each year, when the blossoming of the Jacaranda trees provides streetscapes of bright purple trees.
