Five Dock: A day walk through the Italian suburb of Five Dock

A self-guided walk in five dock.

Download the Walking Map

More than one Sydney suburb has a distinct Italian flavour. Haberfield is one. Five Dock, today’s destination, is another. The bus drives along busy Parramatta Road past Five Dock Auto, a Five Dock Dentist, Five Dock Tiles and Five Dock Classic. I alight, feeling a bubble of excitement and anticipation.

Federation Tiles

Great North Road Built by Convicts

The Great North Road

Memories of Saturday morning gymnastics with my daughters flood back when I see a sign showing the way to Five Dock Leisure Centre. The Great North Road is ahead, at the junction of Parramatta Road. Built by over 5000 convicts from 1825 to 1836, it created a 240km route between Sydney and Newcastle. The conditions were harsh and the work backbreaking.

Today, this first section of the historic road is buried under a modern sealed road bearing the historic name. The Great North Road is perhaps the centrepiece of Five dock running as it does through the centre of the suburb.

PR Raineri’s Deli

Soaps and Bread

Off Parramatta Road

Once off Parramatta Rd, the atmosphere changes. The noise and rush of traffic is behind me. Neat rows of brick Federation style cottages line the four-lane road. Gardens are carefully tended. Coloured panes and leadlight provide interesting detail to front windows. Federation tiled walkways lead from metal gates to the front door.

Detail of La Famiglia sculpture

Street Scape

Italian Shops

I amble along, noticing little details. Almost too soon, the houses end and shops and cafés line the street. While it is too early for a coffee at Pasticceria Tamborrin o, the rows of cakes and pastries are certainly tempting. The window display of PR Raineri’s continental deli is an anomaly. Cleaning products with Italian labels stand side by side with large loaves of fresh bread.

Inside, a murmur of Italian greets me as Peter, who opened this shop over 30 years ago and his wife Rosaria, chat to their customers. Peter greets me with “Buongiorno” and happily agrees to photographs. A few doors down another deli sells similar products. The clientele there appears younger and the lingua franca is mostly English.

Ramsay Road

A brief detour down Ramsay Road takes me past an old, fenced off, Public Toilet. At first, I think the initials “D” and “C” on the wall stand for “Donna” and the C – well, I’m not sure. Eventually it clicks. The building was erected by Drummoyne Council. An old man carrying grey plastic shopping bags stops and in accented English asks me if I like the building. He tells me it’s locked to stop people doing “bad things”.

The Laneway Project

Fred Kelly Place or Plaza Eolie

A tall bronze sculpture depicting a man and woman playfully tossing a child into the air (“La Famiglia”) honours Italian migrants and their contribution to Australia. There is a large engraved sphere marking each corner.

Nearby, Cremeria De Luca is unfortunately not yet open. A gelato or coffee would be good right now. I discover that Bamiyan, the Afghan restaurant, has recently moved to Haberfield . A good reason to revisit that suburb.

In Garfield Street, a digital mural (part of the Laneway project) references early industry in the area and includes historic photographs. It certainly brightens up an otherwise boring and even dirty area.

What’s for dinner? Another laneway project

Gate to St Alban’s Church

Mosaic detail provides colour and interest to the concrete seating in Fred Kelly Place also called The Plaza Eolie. The sculpture which represents a boat and the fish mosaic are a tribute to the community from the Eolie islands north of Sicily.

Village Feel

Two men chatting in Italian on a park bench greet a passing friend. This suburb has a real village feel to it. More artworks, this time a mixture of sculpture and (at prescribed times) sound reveal more about the Italian community with voices from the past reminiscing and recalling their journey to and early years in Australia.

The heritage listed St Albans church (1859 – see comment below) is built in a Gothic style, the name cast to into the metal gate. A friendly greeting from within a nearby café prompts me to stop for coffee. I chuckle to myself on realising that this café, Rocco’s, is actually on my list of places to visit.

Not much further down The Great North Road, is Caminiti , the second-generation gourmet family butcher. It really is a family affair with framed photos on the wall.

Beautiful Roses

Lines and slopes. Five Dock Skatepark

Five Dock Park

Five Dock Park is well-maintained with manicured lawns and trimmed hedges. The war memorial, surrounded by rosemary bushes forms a centrepiece. The park is on high land and surprisingly, the Harbour Bridge is clearly visible in the distance.

A little boy calls out from the nearby skate park and asks what I’m doing. I look around as we chat. His mum is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps that’s her locking a car quite some distance away. Apparently the skate park is being considered for heritage listing. The little boy glides up and down the smooth grey concrete ramps on his scooter.

Timbrell Park

Timbrell Park is situated along a canal on the other side of which the WestConnex building works are well underway. A large fish jumps high out of the water, its splash leaving a ring of ripples on the surface. A WestConnex traffic controller tells me he’s seen lots of fish including flathead and large rays in the canal. Fish spotting must alleviate his boredom.

Carousel at Livvi’s Place

Textured Wall at Livvi’s Place

Livvi’s Place

Livvi’s Place is the most amazing all abilities playground. There’s a flying fox with a large seat, there are slides, a bike track with road signs, a tunnel and even an electronic carousel which unfortunately is currently out of order. A child reaches from tippy toes into the book exchange for a book. His mum reads to him from her seat on the large, elaborate wooden armchair while he sits on a stool in front of her.

On the way back to The Great North Road, I notice an old brick building with peeling paint in Augusta Street. It seems to be lived in but  doesn’t fit with the cottages in the rest of the street.

Not far away, a game of bowls is in progress at Tigers Five Dock. Some players are barefoot, some are in shorts and there’s not a white shirt to be seen. How things have changed.

Not like other houses

“Reformers”

Convict History

The ‘Reformers’ sculpture at the intersection of the Great North Road and Lyons Road pays tribute to the convicts who worked on the historic road.  Metal wedges divide two large sandstone blocks. The description says “the fissure dividing the sandstone suggests a road forcibly driven through a harsh and resistant landscape”.

In Halliday Park, alongside the Parramatta River, a man stops to chat, explaining that the building over the water with a big ‘B’ painted on its wall is the Bushells Factory. Regularly at 3am, residents of Five Dock can smell the rich aroma of coffee emanating from the chimney of this building. This is where they roast Robert Timms and Bushells coffee.

A Spanish couple and a Greek man are playing Italian bocce (bowls) in the park. The Italians haven’t turned up today. The Spaniards were married in Bilbao which I know quite well. We reminisce about the city and I join their game for a few minutes with an inexpert bowl.

You’ve got mail

Laneway Project

Back to the Village

After a brief diversion away from the water, the waterside path returns to the harbour’s edge. Fish are jumping but the fishermen aren’t having much luck. My route back to the village centre takes me along Lancelot Street where a small pocket of single storey detached narrow fronted homes retain their character. Perhaps they were once workers cottages.

Five Dock is an interesting, friendly suburb with a convict history. It also has a decidedly Italian village feel to it. I have enjoyed my day here and will be back.

(NOTE that the time indicated on the map does not allow for any stops. I take an average of 4-5 hours when I explore):

Thanks Jo , another wonderful tale and trail. Must go and see Livvi’s Place and more.

Thanks Loretta. Do go when on Grandparent duty and pick up some olive oil or Italian cheese on the way home. Jo

Thanks Jo, I learn something new every time I read your blogsCheers, Philip

Thanks Philip. That’s why I do these walks. I learn so much. Jo

Today I am thinking of food while I read your blog. I don’t think I’ve had a bad meal in an Italian deli yet. You mention Bamiyan, Afghan restaurant in Haberfield. I remember reading about the Buddhas of Bamiyan which were dynamited in 2001 by the Taliban. I wonder if the owners are from that area. Another good blog Jo, thanks.

Thanks Bernadette. I’ve been to the Deli on tours previously and the cheeses, cold meat and olive oils were delicious – and plenty to choose from. Jo

St Albans Church wasn’t built in 1824. The original church was finished in 1859 and then replaced by the current church sometime in the 1920s to 1930s.

Thanks Donatella, I’ll fix that.

Unveiling the Hidden Gems of Five Dock: A Food Lover's Guide!

Come along on this Italian tour of Five Dock in Canada Bay where we will show you the best shops to buy and eat and the stories behind each store. There's a cafe that sells a house blend using 73 types of beans, a butcher that goes that extra mile and has lounge seating, a gelateria with seasonal gelatos, a shop that serves up the most delicious sandwiches and deli items and a pasticceria that makes delicious cannoli and cakes. You will also find out how Canada Bay gets it name and the stories behind the graffiti that you find there when you do your own easy walking tour!

Five Dock is a suburb in the inner west of Sydney with a strong Italian connection. A quarter of the people living there are of Italian Ancestry, 7% were born in Italy and 11% of people speak Italian at home. This Local Sauce Tours Five Dock tour comprises of 5 stops of Italian businesses from a butcher, deli, café, gelateria and pasticceria. The tour was also planned to be held on June 1st to coincide with Repulica Day, the day in 1946 where Italy decided that it no longer wanted to be a monarchy.

We all meet at Fred Kelly place on Great North Road, the main street for the tour and there are some NQN readers on the tour (hi Paula and Rosemary!). Justin has everyone introduce themselves briefly and asks us to share which of the five stops we are most looking forward to today. He also explains the history of Italian migration to Australia and how the first Italian arrival pre-dates the First Fleet. James Matra and Antonio Ponto, both of Italian descent, were aboard the ship 'Endeavour' with Captain James Cook on his voyage of discovery in 1770.

After that the First Fleet brought convict Giuseppe Tuzo who later settled in Sydney. After that the gold rush brought more migrants. Italian farmers and indentured farmers settled in Far North Queensland to work on sugar cane farms and establish tight knit Italian communities. Volcanic eruptions caused many to flee Sicily and make a life in Australia. Today there are 4th-5th generation Italian families and in Sydney's Canada Bay many hail from Sicily, many from Lipari island. In fact there are more people from Lipari living in the Canada Bay area of Sydney than on the island itself.

1 - CaffèTeRia, Five Dock

A food tour's first stop should always be of the caffeinated variety and stepping into CaffèTeRia on the main road of Five Dock is like stepping into an old fashioned sweets store. Their specialty blend is the House Blend made using 7 different types of beans - where they come from is a closely guarded secret of the owner Max Foggetti from Naples. Their motto is to always use a blend rather than a single origin coffee. The result is a good coffee made with cocoa and hazelnut flavours.

Italian migrants were credited with bringing coffee culture to Australia. Alan Preston, an Australian man with Italian heritage owned Moors Espresso Bar close to Chinatown and was said to have made the first flat white in 1985 - and he has photographic proof that predates a claim from New Zealand about inventing the flat white. Derek Townsend from Karajoz Coffee Company in New Zealand claimed to have invented it but that was in 1986.

2 - Five Dock Meat Market Master Gourmet Butcher

Chances are your local butcher shop doesn't have a couch but at Five Dock Meat Market it's a practical consideration. You see all of the mince is ground fresh so the couches in the shop are for customers to wait for their freshly ground mince (or for perfectly trimmed lamb shanks). Owner Gus de Romanis comes from a 300 year old butchering history where the skills have been passed from father to son for many generations. They opened their store 38 years ago and are a classic example of a butcher shop that not only provides meat but also dispenses great cooking advice.

Take the porchetta for example. Gus and his mother Wanda come from Rome where porchetta hails from (in Ariccia). For his porchetta he doesn't score the skin at all. When you don’t score the skin the juices have nowhere else to go so they stay in the meat. He tells us the key to a perfect porchetta with crunchy crackling is to keep it at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F and pour boiling water over the skin. Then you have 1 minute to rub a handful of salt all over the skin before placing it in the preheated oven on a rack in a baking tray. The reason is that the boiling water causes the cells to open and once they close you get the signature crunch of porchetta. He tells us no matter what size porchetta, the cooking time and temperature is first 200C/392F for 30 minutes and then 150C/300F for 3 hours. They also only stock Murray Valley female pork and can truss your porchetta ready for you. The schnitzel is delicious as are the beef sausages that are made with and without fennel in a natural casing.

"It’s not luck I’ve been here 38 years....A smile costs you nothing,' says Gus.

We take a walk to our next stop where Justin pauses by a mural that is a visual representation of how Canada Bay got its name. In 1840 some French Canadians were exiled from Quebec due to their anti colonial campaigning. They wanted more governmental involvement and access to influential roles and positions within the English-dominated public service. They ended up disembarking in Sydney for the journey to the Longbottom Stockade where they were imprisoned. Areas like Exile Bay, France Bay and Canada Bay were named in recognition of these French Canadians. The mural depicts chains and flowers from both Australia and Canada by artist Fintan Magee. In the nearby carpark there is also a long wall mural from artist Mulga.

3 - Cremeria Giuseppina

"NO tastings," says Stefano, behind the counter. He's standing cross armed and ready to scoop, for serious customers only. Francesca and her brother Angelo named their cremeria after their late mother Giuseppina and she and her husband Stefano are working there when we visit. The cremeria sells gelato and granita, the latter first seen 4,000 years old where they used snow to make granita or flavoured ice. After that the Arabs came to Sicily and introduced Sherbet an iced drink made with rose water flavoured fruit juice that evolved into granita.

The flavours available sit atop a display while the gelato sits in zinc lined copper containers with lids. There's Torrone with six nuts, Cassata with ricotta orange peel or Sicilian Marsala and cinnamon. Or you can go with a classic lemon or pistachio. I try two, a salted panna cotta which is like a salted fior de latte except very creamy although I really enjoy the yellow peach, a seasonal gelato. And if you're feeling like a Sicilian breakfast try the gelato in a brioche with a layer of Nutella and a topping of panna or cream. They also bake all of the breads and buns in-house.

4 - Raineri's Continental Delicatessen

If there's one stop that embodies the spirit of Five Dock it's Raineri's Continental Delicatessen. The deli has sat in this spot for decades and they're not going anywhere. It starts with Sarina and Peter Raineri who along with their son Sam and son in law Rocco tend to the 3 generations of customers that pop into the deli for all things Italian. Peter initially started with a food truck many decades ago where he would sell deli items from the back but then moved to a shopfront 45 years ago.

Sarina hands out samples of mild and hot salami, chilli chicken, ham, bread, olives and four types of cheese: Provolone, Jarslberg, goats cheese and Asiago. Some say that Rainier's is more Italian deli than a deli in Italy.

Sam also makes a mean sandwich. Bring your appetite and he can make you one of the freshest, most delicious sandwiches you can eat. $10 gets you the top of the line of the meat, cheese and antipasti cabinet. He shaves the cheese and meats fresh which takes extra time but it's worth it (and he has the routine down that you're not waiting any longer than if it were pre-sliced). They sell 120 of these wonderful sandwiches a day and it's also a great place to pick up fresh burrata, buffalo mozzarella, fresh bread and a huge range of pasta.

5 - Pasticceria Tamborrino

Our last stop is a sweet one at Tamborino a pasticceria that has been open for 20 years. While it is late in the afternoon there are still some of their signature items on display like the cannoli, sfogliatella and ricotta cake.

There's also fridges full of profiterole cakes coated in pistachio chocolate and a huge range of Italian cookies. I try a pistachio ganache tart with a thick crust and a creamy pistachio chocolate filling. But the best treat is the cannoli. It comes in four flavours: ricotta, chocolate, pistachio and vanilla. They sell more than 200 of these on a Saturday. I take a bite and the shell is crunchy crisp and the filling smooth and chocolatey. The perfect ending to a few hours eating!

So tell me Dear Reader, have you been to any of these shops? Also which one would you be most excited to visit?
