Builder Killara, Ku-ring-gai
Killara backs onto the Lane Cove valley — sandstone-edge blocks deeper than the typical Ku-ring-gai lot, with inter-war Federation homes lining the heritage streets between the Pacific Highway and the river escarpment. Killara station, the public school, the bowling club, and the old Marian Street Theatre site frame the village. Soil grades M on the ridge and tips into H on the valley fall.
