The suburb is located a mere 10 kilometers south-west of central Sydney and is bordered by several waterways that feed into Botany Bay, lending it an almost island-like quality. Earlwood stands apart from the high property prices and limited space of nearby hipster suburbs such as Dulwich Hill and Marrickville, and it also escapes the consistently onerous heritage and development controls demanded by many of the inner-city councils.

The owners of Shed House, a family of five consisting of two furniture makers and their three children, initiated a conversation

Camp Nou renovation gets major boost

Mahendra,

The time away from Camp Nou during renovation has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Barcelona. It would have been ideal for their path ahead in the UEFA Champions League. However, the Estadi Olimpic, which can accommodate 50,000+ spectators, looked like a perfect substitute.
