Mount Lewis is a suburb in South-western Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the local government area City of Canterbury-Bankstown, and is located 18 km south-west of the Sydney central business district.
Mount Lewis takes its name from the highest point in the district at Mount Lewis Reserve on Wattle Street. The origin of the name is unclear but it reflects the height which provides good views west towards the Bankstown CBD, south towards Canterbury Road and east towards the Sydney CBD skyline.[2] Thomas Collins acquired 50 acres (200,000 m2) of land in 1834–35.[3]
