What Is the Real Address for Nemo? the Truth Behind 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney
By Sarah Jenkins
Q1: What is the exact address on the mask in Finding Nemo?
The text on the mask reads: "P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney."
Q2: Can I visit the dentist office in Sydney today?
No. The office is an entirely fictional setting designed by Pixar animators. There is no dental practice with this name or address operating along the Sydney waterfront.
Q3: Why did Pixar choose the number 42?
While Pixar has never formally highlighted a single motive for the number, screenwriters across the studio frequently embedded nods to science fiction canon, most notably Douglas Adams' *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy*, where 42 represents the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything.
Q4: Are there real roads named Wallaby Way in Australia?
Yes, several small towns in regional Australia have streets named Wallaby Way, but none exist in the city of Sydney, and none sit within view of the harbor landmarks seen in the film.
