Galston.

When you visit Galston, you’ll discover a charming suburb tucked away at the northern edge of Sydney, where serene semi-rural living meets easy convenience. Originally known as Upper Dural, Galston was renamed in 1886, paying homage to a Scottish town renowned for its coal output. This delightful hamlet still reflects its pastoral roots with a blend of historic orchards, nurseries and small farms. Recently, the area has seen the addition of some new architectural residences, modern brick townhouses and home units near the Galston shopping village, which offers a range of amenities for everyday necessities.

Galston is a haven for those seeking peace and quiet, with its lush greenery and tranquil surroundings. Enjoy a leisurely coffee at local favourites like Poppy Lane and Sugar Salt, or grab fresh produce from Galston Gourmet Deli and Goodies Bakery. For those looking for outdoor space, Fagan Park offers expansive gardens and picnic spots, while the Galston Aquatic Centre provides a splash of fun, and Galston Gorge is a highlight for bushwalkers and nature lovers.

With a mix of generational family acreages and charming freestanding houses, Galston is perfect for those who appreciate a slower pace of life. Don’t miss the annual Galston Country Music Festival, held each September, drawing visitors from all over Australia. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with all the right amenities about 3km north of Dural, your dream home could be in Galston.
