Pedestrian Plaza in Lane Cove, taken 5 April 2005 facing East. Although there is some historical properties in the area, the general atmosphere is one of flash modernity. From the newly-renovated Lane Cove Swimming Pool to the townhouse complexes along the main roads to Longueville, that has some of the richest houses in Sydney, Lane Cove has a very suburban feel that is unusual so (relatively) close to the city.

Around 16% of the area is devoted to public recreational areas including Burns Bay Park, Tambourine Bay Park and Tantallon Oval. As well as this there is a large amount of bushland surrounding the rivers edge especially near Riverview. Lane Cove also has many small creeks and rivers that flow through it and therefore has many expanses of bushland. The Lane Cove River is the largest river in the area.
History Prior to the arival of the First Fleet, the area was inhabited by the Cam-mer-ray-gal Group of the Ku-ring-gai Aboriginal Tribe. However once the white settlers had arrived, it was Lieutenant Ralph Clark who first landed not too far from the entrance to the Lane Cove River on 14 February 1790. The First Fleet is the name given to the group of people and ships who sailed from England in May 1787 to establish the first European colony in New South Wales. ...

There are a number of possibilites of the origin of the name "Lane Cove". The first written use of the name was by Lieutenant William Bradley after he had just sailed along the river in 1788. Some have argued that the it was named after Lieutenant Michael Lane, a respected cartographer, who had once worked with Captain Cook. Others say that it was in honour of John Lane, who was the son of the London Lord Mayor at the time as well as a good friend of the first Governor, Arthur Phillip. In any case, the name stuck, and by the 1800s was being used to refer to all the land north of the river. 1788 was a leap year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ...

There were land grants in 1794 to some privates and non-commissioned officers in the New South Wales Corp, however not many of these grants were actually settled as the steep, timbered land was not particularly habitable. However Lane Cove was an excellent source for timber and other commodities that the settlers required. During the 19th century, farms and dairies were also established. There were also many industrial and manufactoring factories constructed around Greenwich. 1794 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...
Most of the residental growth in the area however occurred after Second World War when returning soldiers were granted blocks of land around Lane Cove. The land value, which was cheap during this time, surged during the 1980s and 1990s when the water views, large surburbian blocks, ease of transport and quiet streets became hugely popular. Longueville with its beautiful views of the city is one of the richest suburbs in Sydney. Mushroom cloud from the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki rising 18 km into the air. ...

Transportation The suburb is notable for many Sydney car-commuters as it is the meeting point of the Gore Hill Freeway, which brings cars from the city, the airport and the south with two major roads - the Pacific Highway which travels north and Epping Road which goes north-west. The huge amount of traffic that converges at these intersections during peak hours of the day as made some of the sections of road (in particular the Epping Road-Longueville Road intersection) considered some of the worst in Sydney. The community outcry has led to the commencement of work on the Lane Cove Tunnel which will take vehicles straight from the Gore Hill Expressway to the M2, which means that a car can travel all the way from Baulkham Hills to the airport without going through one set of traffic lights (although it would cost approximately $10 in tolls).
