It's a debate that's raged on since Captain Cook landed on our shores and set up camp and we named the damned city Sydney. Where does the West begin? Where is that magical invisible border that separates the heathens from the intellectuals?

Could this map provide the answer? I know Erebus (?) on here created a very similar map a while back. I've always thought the Western Suburbs started around Bankstown. I can accept Greenacre, as per this map.

Where Western Sydney actaully starts is one of the oldest debate's in the city.

So one bloke has got the data and he reckons he's nailed it.

Blogger Colin Ross created a map where users could draw in their own version of where Western Sydney starts. He then grouped them all together and created a map that is the definitive version of who is a Westie.

Suburbs Listed In This Version of Western Sydney Include:
Greystanes
Huntingwood
Blacktown
Cecil Park
Merrylands
Guildford
North St Marys
Cambridge Park
Cabramatta
Mount Druitt
Hoxton
Fairfield
Yennora
Erskine Park and more. See the map below.

It seems the general consensus is that that Western Sydney starts from around Greenacre.

Oh yeah, they're actually rather large although bugger all people live there, one is well regarded for it's dairy.

Definitely my designated zombie apocalypse holdout.
Apparently there are a couple of kick arse golf courses on there too.


Didn't realise there was something between Victoria and Antarctica tbh :d

Must be a lonely existence, but at least you can surf Shipsterns Bluff.
