Some of the biggest fish you’re likely to land in Sydney Harbour are found round here. Apparently the upstream side of Pickering Point is a great king, jew and big flattie spot. So no surprise to frighten up six fishermen about the swimming enclosure (that has seen better days).
Not much of a point otherwise, although it does have good views of Middle Harbour, Seaforth Bluff, Castle Cove, Explosives Reserve and Bantry Bay.
Named after George Pickering, one of the first European settlers in the area, who it is recorded resided in Manly in the year 1814.
