About Fiddletown

Fiddletown is a small rural locality in Sydney's north-western outskirts, located approximately 39 kilometres north-west of the Sydney CBD within Hornsby Shire. Despite its Sydney metropolitan postcode, the suburb is largely rural in character, covering 69 square kilometres of rolling bushland and semi-rural properties. The 2021 Census recorded a population of just 259 people, making it one of the least densely settled areas in Greater Sydney.

Life in Fiddletown is defined by its rural tranquillity — large acreage blocks, horse properties and bush retreats attract those seeking a quiet lifestyle within a reasonable drive of Sydney. The area sits at around 210 metres elevation and borders the Hawkesbury region, offering scenic bushland and a genuine escape from suburban density. Residents are predominantly car-dependent and drive to nearby centres such as Dural or Wisemans Ferry for services and shopping.

Fiddletown falls under postcode 2159 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hornsby electorate.
