Camellia Taxi

Camellia is a suburb of Sydney, located 23 kilometers west of the Sydney CBD.

The railway station that opened here in 1885 was originally called Subiaco which cause a lot of confusion because it was also the name of an estate on the opposite side of Parramatta River. In 1901, the station was renamed to clear things up and was given the pretty name Camellia. The name was derived from the Camellia Grove Nursery that was located nearby specialised in growing camellias. Camellia is predominantly an industrial and commercial area. Although it is now slowly turning away from its industrial origins it will take a very long time to reclaim and rehabilitate the land after, for example, the Shell refinery closes down.
