Forestville

Forestville is a suburb of northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Forestville is 12 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council. Forestville is part of the Northern Beaches region and also considered to be part of the Forest District, known colloquially amongst the elderly population as Forry.

History
Forestville means town in the forest. This area was originally thick wooded forest until James French settled here and began felling timber in 1946 and eventually built a small wharf on Bantry Bay to ship timber to Sydney. Soon the megalomaniac assumed control of the whole area, pushing out it's indigenous inhabitants, and naming it Large Wood, after his penis. However, the restrictive council found this name inappropriate and forced him to change it to Forestville. This made hims so distraught that he left Australia entirely and returned to America, where he drank his cares away, eventually killing 60 people in a 1958 mass shooting and being executed via electric chair. Whilst in prison he wrote a book detailing his struggles, which would later go on to be a bestseller. While strapped in to the electric chair, waiting to be executed, he wasted the provided opportunity to deliver his final words to say "How's this for your headline? 'French Fries'", an absolutely awful joke which no-one laughed at, and made his final moments extremely uncomfortable. They say his soul still haunts Forestville today.

Forestville has become infamous for being the place of residence for the once-prime-minister of Australia and registered psycho Tony Abbott. After he upset the whole nation with his policies and generally bizarre behaviour he rushed back to Forestville to live a life of public seclusion with his family for many months. This peace was disrupted by a delivery of 600 raw onions which were sent to his house, forcing him to emerge out of hiding to sort the whole situation out with the delivery company.

The Shops
The primary feature of the suburb is a shopping area known as The Forestville Shops. This title was perhaps given due to the location of the shopping area, but no-one knows for certain. What is for certain is the amount of teenage students that pass through the area on weekday afternoons to catch busses.

Housing
There are some pretty good houses here. Apparently a few rickety old houses got demolished, which no-one cared about except for The Sydney Morning Herald.

Schools
The main school in the area is Killarney Heights High School, from which most of the teenagers passing through the area attend. There are also a few other schools in the area.

Population
Many years ago Forestville was a town full of oldies. Due to the efforts of many, this is no longer the case, and several new families have moved into the area, replacing the old couples, and to eventually become old couples themselves and repeat the vicious cycle.
