Gore Hill, New South Wales

Gore Hill is an urban locality on the Lower North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

It takes its name from William Gore, the provost marshal in colonial Sydney,[1] who had a property of 61 hectares (150 acres) in the area.

It is best known for the Gore Hill Freeway that runs from Lane Cove to Naremburn and as the location of the ABC's Sydney television transmission tower, which is 170 m (558 ft) high.

[2] For more than 40 years Gore Hill was the location of the ABC's Sydney television studios which were established in 1956 and which operated until June 2003, when the site was closed and sold, and the ABC moved its television operations to its combined TV-radio studio facility in the inner-city suburb of Ultimo.

Though blocked from public access, this tunnel remains and forms part of Austcorp's Winevault complex.
