Birchgrove, New South Wales

About

Birchgrove is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Birchgrove is located five kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Inner West Council.

Birchgrove occupies the north-west slope of the Balmain peninsula, overlooking Sydney Harbour, and includes Yurulbin and Ballast Points. Balmain is the only adjacent suburb. The long harbour frontage provides sweeping views of the Parramatta River with Cockatoo Island dominating the foreground. It is regarded as one of the wealthiest suburbs of Sydney, largely due to its harbour frontages, historic character, and proximity to the city.
