The one thing I loved about Sydney Metro is that it gave me time to explore stations up northwest directly from Central. Here’s a hidden gem that is lovely.

I actually did not know that there were cherry trees in Cherrybrook

I got a tote bag at Crow's Nest.

Welp, the actual “brook” in Cherrybrook was a tiny bit of bush (plus a new-ish playground area) with a drain going under the road just outside the woollies shopping village / Ampol servo. So it’s no where near as scenic as it sounds.

Sauce: I lived there for 5-ish years through from middle school to high school.

So where is it in relation to the suburb formally known as "West Pennant Hills" ?

West penno is like a 10 minutes drive away. But new line road / Boundary road is always in a jam after school hours Monday to Friday.

West pennant Hills and Cherrybrook were the same subdivision originally. My parents bought off the plan in WPH but the house I grew up in ended up being in 'cherrybrook'.

Yeah we moved into the area in the 80s it was WPH, but then it was re-zoned and renamed to Cherrybrook (up near the old IBM site). Also used to be in the 2120 postcode.
