Hi Jenny,

There are 2 Stream Streets listed in the City of Sydney's "Guide to Sydney
City Street Names" [Fitzgerald]

Stream Street : Chippendale : Re-Named : See Buckland Street
Stream Street : Darlinghurst : Current : This follows the line of a
freshwater stream which discharged into Woolloomooloo Bay.

Buckland Street : Current : Chippendale
"When the CSR's refinery land was subdivided as the Blackfriars Estate in
1879, Buckland St appeared on it, named for Thomas Buckland, who had
interests in CSR. However, because it followed the line of the original
Blackwattle Creek and was frequently flooded it was better known as Stream
St until early 20th C."
