First labelled Cockle Bay Point on a map in 1807, later changed to Jack-The-Millers Point, after John Leighton who operated three mills. The point was known as Coodye by the indigenous people. It was nicknamed The Hungry Mile by dock workers during the Great Depression, and will soon become Barangaroo when it is redeveloped to become “a world benchmark in waterfront urban renewal.”
The physical outline of the point is long gone, the headland “sliced away” and a concrete apron built to service the container ships.
Another area worth exploring on foot. There are not as many pubs as there used to be, but persevere.
