Northern Suburbs of Sydney

A local group of ABC Friends NSW & ACT.

NSoS covers the federal electorates of Bennelong, Berowra, Bradfield, Mackellar, Mitchell, North Sydney, and Warringah — the area north of Sydney Harbour, from North Sydney and Mosman across to Hornsby, Epping, and Castle Hill. Members meet on the second Thursday of each month (February–December) at Roseville Uniting Church, 11.30am for an 11.45am start, finishing at 1pm.
