From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ingleside is a suburb in northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Ingleside is located 28 kilometres north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government areas of Pittwater Council and Warringah Council. Ingleside is part of the Northern Beaches region, about 2 kilometres from the coast at Mona Vale. Ingleside Heights and Tumbledown Dick are localities in the west of the suburb.
The area is mostly semi-rural properties and bushland. In the last few years, Sydney's growth has begun to affect Ingleside, with Mona Vale road being widened, and Pittwater Council greatly increasing the housing developments in the suburb.
Due to the size of blocks of land in this area, it has made an ideal spot for pet boarding and pet welfare groups. The Animal Welfare League NSW has two animal shelters in Ingleside.
[edit] Landmarks
- A distinctive feature at Ingleside is the Bahá'í House of Worship built circa 1960.
- The Smoky Dawson Ranch was the home of one of Australia's most popular country music singers. The former ranch was sold to the HASG Armenian School. In 2002 the school opened a commemorative Smoky Dawson ranch-style gate, which has become a tourist attraction.
