Wahroonga, Administrative division in Ku-ring-gai Council, New South Wales, Australia.
The suburb extends across elevated terrain with established gardens, native vegetation, and numerous heritage residences spread throughout residential neighborhoods.
Established following land grants in 1794, Wahroonga developed into a residential area after the railway station opened in 1890, attracting settlers from Sydney.
The name Wahroonga originates from Aboriginal language, reflecting the traditional ownership of the land and meaning a place where water flows.
The suburb connects to Sydney through regular train services on the T1 North Shore line, with multiple educational institutions and shopping facilities within its boundaries.
Wahroonga maintains extensive records of local Aboriginal heritage sites, including rock carvings and shelters that document Indigenous presence in the region.
