Caringbah Taxi

Caringbah is a southern Sydney suburb located 24 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD in the local government area of Sutherland Shire. Caringbah is also locally known as “the Kasbah”.

The Caringbah name stems from an Aboriginal word for a pademelon wallaby. However, the suburb was not always called Caringbah; originally it was known as Highfield. The records do not seem to show if this was a position description or the name of an early resident. The main shopping centre of Caringbah is situated close to Caringbah train station. The suburb also has clusters of small shops randomly sprinkled around the area.

Caringbah is considered to be the central suburb of the Sutherland Shire because some of the main roads intersect here.
