Looking south from Howley Park into Five Dock Bay.
One of the said remaining natural 'docks' with what looks like ye olde ancient carved steps.
Yes, you guessed it. Dock number 2.
Huntleys Point Wharf and the northern abutment of the original Gladesville Bridge.
Looking north-east under the Gladesville Bridge to Huntleys Point ... almost ... the beacon is just around the corner. Hunters Hill houses in the background.
Well we didn't know that.

At the NE point of the bay there were five water worn indentations that were likened to docks, hence the name Five Dock.

Makes sense to us. They did look quite dock-like.

Slightly grubby but still very nice point with remains of the abutment of the original Gladesville Bridge staring across the Parramatta River to its sister abutment near Huntleys Point Wharf.

Could do with a right going over on Clean Up Australia Day. Get to it, Drummoyne.
