Silverdale is a small town in New South Wales,, in Wollondilly Shire. Approximately 30 minutes from the city of Camden, Silverdale is close to the historic township of Warragamba, and the main water supply for Sydney, Warragamba Dam.
The town's development increased with the construction of the dam. Silverdale is remarkably isolated from the increasing urbanisation of the Penrith City area, although the new housing estates are an example of increasing development in the area.
The local primary school is Warragamba Public School and Holy Family Primary school in Luddenham. The feeder high school for the region used to be Elderslie High School near Camden (35 km distance). The feeder high school changed to Glenmore Park High School in 2009 (24 km distance). Private schools in the region include Nepean Christian School (15 km distance), Penrith Christian School (23 km distance) and many children travel to Caroline Chisholm College in Glenmore Park (21 km distance) and St Dominic's College Kingswood (25 km distance), both of which have their respective 4010 and 4110 buses to the area.
Silverdale is only accessible via Silverdale Road, southbound up Baines Hill from Penrith or northbound from Oakdale. The nearest rail transport is Penrith railway station, Sydney, with Busways bus route 795 operating from this location during the morning and afternoon. Construction of the Second Sydney Airport, which commenced in 2016, is in the nearby town of Badgerys Creek.
In the 2021 census, the population of Silverdale was 4,543. Silverdale is a popular location for families, accounting for more than 85% of households in the township. The weekly median household income in 2021 was $2,654, significantly higher than the NSW median weekly income for households of $1,486.

Day trip up around the Warragamba area with Luckyl10n and AndrewBT. First port of call for me and the trig was snapped.

in the Warragamba area this morning. Stopped here for a happy snap. Trig can be seen between the trees

Although one can come very close, it is not easy to make a good picture of the trig itself. Lots of tree cover. Other than that a quick driveby

Drove past this & had to turn around & come back. It's easier to see from the other direction, with no tree blocking the view.
Hard to get a good photo, the same tree that blocked my view from the road made it hard to get the trig in frame.

Almost drove straight past this trig. Pulled up to the gates to spot the trig and group of wallabies of about 12 just grazing in the grass. A interesting sight to see
The first of the Trigs on today's trig hunt with pjmpjm. This one is no problem to photograph from the road, no need to trespass on the surrounding property.
