Gainford Street lies in Booragul, a suburb on the western shore of Lake Macquarie north‑northeast of Toronto. The street is lined with mid‑20th‑century homes erected after World War II for migrant accommodation, later used as married quarters for the Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force before being sold off in the late 1970s‑early 1980s.

Residents are within walking distance of Booragul railway station on the Central Coast & Newcastle Line and close to several schools, including St Paul’s Catholic College, Booragul Public School and Lake Macquarie High School, as well as the Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie and nearby parks such as Marmong and Nakillingah. The suburb’s lakeside location provides easy access to Cockle Bay and the Five Islands.
