Hunters Hill is a suburb of Sydney, on the eastern seaboard of the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is on a narrow peninsula at the confluence of the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers as they join Sydney Harbour. It has a population of 12,000 people living in 4,500 households. A large part of Hunters Hill is within view of the City of Sydney which is reached by ferry or by bus, being a trip of 15 to 20 minutes. Victoria road, the designated main road to the site of the 2000 Olympic Games at Homebush, passes through Hunters Hill. Hunters Hill is significant because of the large number of nineteenth century houses which have been retained. They show the involvement of French, Swiss and Italian settlers in what was a British colony. The suburb is recognised as a conservation area by the Heritage Commission of Australia, the National Trust and the Heritage Council of N. S. W. and the Hunters Hill Municipal Council. The Hunters Hill Trust was established in 1968 to preserve the character and life-style of the area.
