Good value here. A point with a point at its point. See Robertsons Point and Robertsons Point II. Looks like Robertsons Point is the pointy end of Cremorne Point. Anyway…
You can do a walk from Shell Cove or catch a ferry to Cremorne Point wharf and do the walk to Mosman Bay wharf – maybe 40 minutes, not hard, just a few stairs here and there – and see both sides of this excellent point. Lots of shady picnic spots, big gum trees and on the eastern side the Lex and Ruby Graham Gardens (sorry no pics), a cliff hugging memorial garden to love.
Many a childhood summer’s day spent in the fabulous salt water harbour pool – surely one of the best harbour pools with a view in the world!
James Milson Jnr (son of the Milsons Point Milson) purchased the Cremorne peninsular in 1853. The courts prevented him from selling building blocks running right to the water’s edge and Cremorne is consequently one of the few Sydney Harbour peninsulars with a public, waterfront park running around its edges (Wikipedia).
The Aboriginal name for Cremorne Point is ‘Wulwarrajeung’. Its English name comes from its time as a pleasure garden (quoits).
