WOLLI CREEK - Sydney Australia | Walking Tour

Wolli Creek is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It sits beside the Wolli Creek and Cooks River waterways. Wolli Creek is situated between the suburbs of Arncliffe and Tempe, 10 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the St George area. Wolli Creek is in the local government area of Bayside Council.
Wolli Creek was named after the waterway on its northern border.
The suburb was previously part of Arncliffe. Reuben Hannam was granted land in 1825 on the banks of Cooks river. Alexander Brodie Spark purchased land in 1826 and built Tempe house in 1836. It was named after 'Vale of Tempe', a beautiful valley in ancient Greek legend set at the foot of Mount Olympus. Tempe House, designed by John Verge, has a Georgian feel and is regarded as one of the great houses of Sydney.
The area became predominantly industrial until a redevelopment was planned in the late 1990s. The new suburb was to be called North Arncliffe, but residents in the area petitioned the council to conduct a vote to select a better name. Wolli Creek was the most popular choice. Wolli Creek railway station opened in 2000. Wolli Creek was officially declared a suburb in 2002.
Wolli Creek has a number of heritage-listed sites, including: Tempe House and St Magdalenes Chapel.
Once industrial, Wolli Creek was redeveloped in the 2010s into a high-density residential and commercial area. Its close proximity to the Sydney CBD and Sydney Airport make it an attractive residential location.
An Aldi supermarket, Woolworths Supermarket and a Dan Murphy's liquor store are located in the suburb.
The main retail precinct is the Village Square, which is directly opposite the Wolli Creek station entrance.
Wolli Creek is home to two hotels: Novotel Sydney International Airport and Quality Hotel CKS Sydney.
