Toronto, Australia
Toronto is a busy suburb on the western shore of
Lake Macquarie in
New South Wales,
Australia. Toronto was the site of an
Aboriginal mission, established in
1829. It was named after
Toronto, Canada in honour of Edward Hanlan, a world-champion sculler who moved from Canada to Australia in about
1885.
Up until the mid 1980s it had a railway station which terminated the branch line from Fassifern. It now has a bus aptly named "The Train".
