Growing up in Lavender Bay on the lower north shore in the 1960s, Michael Contos lived a charmed "Huckleberry Finn" life, building rafts on the water's edge, fishing and catching octopus off the rocks.
Fifty years on, he's now returned to live there, believing the suburb to be the absolute pinnacle of what Sydney could possibly offer. And now he has official confirmation: Lavender Bay has come out in the very top spot of all Sydney's 555 suburbs in a new landmark study – Domain Liveable Sydney 2016 – authored by Tract Consultants and Deloitte Access Economics.
