A quieter suburb. But the access can still catch you out.
Cammeray is one of those North Shore suburbs that people move to and quietly stay in for years. It has the kind of community feel - the Saturday morning at Cammeray Park, the cafe on Miller Street, the quiet reserves along Gore Creek and Middle Harbour - that is genuinely hard to leave. Which means when people do eventually move on, it tends to be a significant occasion. Usually a family home that has been lived in properly, with accumulated furniture, a garage full of things that need to go somewhere, and belongings that have been there long enough to deserve some care.
The suburb sits on a peninsula between Cammeray Park and the Gore Creek reserve, and the streets closest to Cammeray Public School on Palmer Street and the shops on Miller Street are narrow by North Shore standards. The older apartment blocks in the suburb - the walk-ups on Amherst Street and the streets running toward North Sydney - have no lifts and internal staircases that were designed in an era when people owned fewer large objects. Three flights of stairs with no turning room at the top is not a problem, but it is something you want to know about before moving day rather than on it.
Jet knows Cammeray well. He grew up on the North Shore, has worked the suburb for years, and knows which streets get blocked during school hours, which entry points are through a rear lane rather than the front, and where the truck needs to be positioned before 8am to stay on the right side of the parking inspectors.
Palmer Street around the school is the most time-sensitive access point in the suburb. The school drop-off window creates a genuine traffic choke that adds real time to any move that starts late. Jet builds the start time around it - earlier rather than later, so the truck is positioned and loading has started before the street becomes difficult.
The family homes on the hillier streets toward Northbridge and along the Gore Creek side of the suburb tend to be well-established and well-furnished. We take the time these jobs need. Nothing gets rushed, nothing gets left behind in the garage because there was not quite enough room on the truck, and nothing goes on the truck unprotected regardless of how long the job is running. Cammeray homes tend to have things in them that matter, and we treat them accordingly.
