On 5th of February, 1788, the Wangal Clan met Captain John Hunter’s exploratory party having breakfast. “We made signs to them to come over and waved green boughs. Soon after which 7 of them came over in 2 canoes and landed near our boats” – William Bradley, First Lieutenant on board HMS Sirius.
Was the site of the AGL Mortlake Gas Works from the late 1880s for just over a century. Heavily remediated, it’s now one of the largest urban renewal projects in Sydney, hell-bent on cloning The Truman Show set. Was afraid to step on the grass.
Point has good views of the Parramatta River and is a nice walk.
