About Kareela
Kareela is a residential suburb in the Sutherland Shire, about 24 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD. Developed by Stockland in 1953 as its first mixed-use estate, the suburb was originally called Sylvan Headland before being renamed Kareela, an Aboriginal word meaning place of trees and water. Streets are named after winners of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
