Como rests on the southern banks of the Georges River, a place where the salt-laced air carries the murmur of water and the distant hum of the city. It lies 5.7 km south-west of Hurstville, NSW (from Hurstville, NSW: bearing 221°T), and is situated 9.4 km south-south-east of Bankstown. The landscape here is a gentle embrace of bushland and residential streets, where the vibrant green of native foliage spills onto manicured lawns. Sunlight, when it breaks through the coastal haze, casts a soft, almost buttery glow on the terracotta roofs and the weathered timber of jetties that reach out into the estuary, hinting at the lifeblood of the river that shapes this locality. The air, particularly in the early morning, carries a crispness that speaks of its proximity to the sea, yet it is tempered by the warmth that rises from the land as the day unfolds.
This stretch of the Georges River has long been a place of passage and settlement, its history etched in the land and the flow of the waterway. The early European settlers, drawn by its fertile soils and accessibility, established farms and orchards, their labours leaving subtle imprints on the terrain. Later, Como evolved into a popular weekend retreat for city dwellers, a place to escape the urban sprawl and enjoy the river's recreational offerings, a character that still lingers in the quiet streets and the abundance of boats moored along its foreshores. The local economy, while now diversified, still holds a connection to the river, with marinas and small businesses catering to those who seek solace or recreation by its waters, and the ever-present knowledge of the broader metropolitan area just a short drive away.
