If you read this blog, odds are you're big on obscure residential suburbs in Western Sydney. Here are two.

Oxley Park

Start in St Marys and walk east, and you'll eventually reach Oxley Park. 

Oh when the saints go marching in.

St Marys

St Marys is in the general and poorly defined category of Outer Western Sydney. As a result, the the trip in by train from Central takes an entire hour. 

This next suburb is another Inner West spot, meaning we get to look at interesting old architecture, read some anti-colonial posters, and eat brunch.

Stanmore

This August, Completing Sydney turns 3 years old. To celebrate, I put my life in the hands of my faithful readers, and where I go in August 2021 will be determined entirely by your votes. There are 8 posts which are scheduled to go up in August, and I will go to the 8 suburbs that have the most votes.

The poll will close on 30 June. This is to give me time to go to these places over July, but I can also pretend it's for tax purposes.

Visit this Google Form to vote. 

The Form requires a Google Account to vote so that you can only vote once. There's probably a really easy way to get around the restriction, so I'll just ask nicely - please don't? Sorry if the Google Account requirement means that it's hard for you to put a vote in.

I've spent the past couple of weeks now hanging out at the bays of the Inner West. You're probably getting pretty bored of that now. Luckily I now have something different - a suburb on the bays of the Inner West. 

Drummoyne 

Last I left you, I was enjoying the Bay Run Stroll through Russell Lea and Rodd Point. Well, following the path east leads into Drummoyne. 

Here are two more suburbs you probably don't know much about, in the bays of the Inner West.  

Russell Lea

Prior to coming here, my only knowledge of this place is that its name reminds me of that one chicken shop. Well now I can add to my knowledge that Russell Lea sits east of my previous suburb, Wareemba. 

This meant getting in on foot, and immediately starting on a residential neighbourhood.
