Epping

Epping is a suburb of Sydney, located in the Northern Suburbs 18 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government areas of the City of Ryde, the City of Parramatta and Hornsby Shire.

Epping features a small shopping centre close to Epping Railway Station. Other commercial and industrial developments are also located in the surrounding area. Epping RSL club is a popular venue, which attracts many people, including students from the nearby Macquarie University. Epping is also home to the Epping Hotel, which has a bar and nightclub.

Epping Station is on the Northern railway line of Sydney's CityRail network. Epping is also a junction for the Epping to Chatswood line, which became fully operational in early 2009. The second stage of this project which was intended to run west from Epping to Parramatta has been put on indefinite hold. Epping is also well-serviced by bus facilities by Sydney Buses and Hillsbus. The M2 Hills Motorway runs along the northern border to the Sydney CBD. Epping Road is a major arterial road in the area that runs east from the railway station to the Pacific Highway.

Epping is home to a number of Churches and schools including Arden Anglican School, Epping Public School and Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Primary School.
