Surrey Hills

Here's another chance to make amusing comparisons with English place names that are also used in Australia.... today we're visiting the picturesque Surrey Hills.

In Sydney it's spelt "Surry Hills" (apparently an unknown person put the 'e' in Joey John's pocket) and if it wasn't for the spelling you wouldn't be able to tell the two apart I'd say. They're both hilly, trendy and full of interesting pubs. I do believe the spelling is the same in Melbourne and what's more, the Minogue sisters are often spotted in both places visiting the nightclubs and boutiques.


These pics were taken in autumn, as you may notice.


For the geography buffs, we're actually at Denbies Hillside on the North Downs.



The scenery is lovely when the sun's out.


Rush hour on Crown Street.
