Lake Macquarie History

Dora Street

Named from Dora Creek, Dora Street was surveyed and named when the Morisset Township was proclaimed in 1887. One map shows it also named 'Main Road'. A section of Dora Street is a part of MR 217. The railway station and much of the business and professional centre of Morisset is in Dora Street. There used to be a Dairy Farmers milk depot in this street.
