Leichhardt
Leichhardt is a suburb and a local government area (Municipality of Leichhardt) in the Inner West region of Sydney, Australia. The suburb of Leichhardt is situated between Haberfield to the west, Annandale to the east, Lilyfield to the north and Petersham to the south. It is named for the Sorbian explorer Ludwig Leichhardt.
Leichhardt is best known as Sydney's "Little Italy". Although it has become less distinctively Italian with the gentrification of the suburb and movement of younger Italian-Australians westwards, its Italian character is still palpable, particularly in the popular restaurants and cafes of its main street, Norton Street.
