It is located north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Ku-ring-gai Council. It shares the postcode of 2074 with the adjacent suburbs of North Turramurra and South Turramurra. ==History== Turramurra is an Aboriginal word which is thought to mean either ''high hill'', ''big hill'', ''high place'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.khs.org.au/local/turramurra.html )〕 or ''small watercourse''.〔McCarthy; 1963, cited in 〕 The aboriginal reference of high hill covered the range from Pymble to Turramurra. Early European settlers referred to the area as Eastern Road. The name Turramurra was adopted when the railway station was built in 1890. One of the early local landmarks was ''Ingleholme'', a two-storey Federation home in Boomerang Street. It was designed by John Sulman (1849–1934) as his own home and built circa 1896. The house was part of the Presbyterian Ladies College (now the Pymble Ladies' College) until 1977 and is now on the Register of the National Estate. It is notable as an example of John Sulman's style.〔The Heritage of Australia, Macmillan Company, 1981, p.2/33〕 Turramurra Post Office opened on 16 August 1890. St Andrew's in Kissing Point Road is an example of the Federation Carpenter Gothic style. In 1932, Lewy Pattinson, founder of Washington H. Soul Pattinson, gave the Presbyterian Church in NSW the land for Mission Hall, at what is now 106 Kissing Point Road.〔 In 1936, ownership was transferred by Pattinson to St Margaret's Presbyterian Church, Turramurra.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Andrews Uniting Church, S Turramurra / History of St Andrews )〕 A Turramurra East Post Office opened on 1 May 1959 and closed in 1993. The Turramurra North Post Office opened on 1 September 1953.〔 North Turramurra and South Turramurra became separate suburbs on 5 August 1994. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turramurra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
