Looking east up the Lane Cove River, Newcombe Point in foreground right, Longueville to the left.
Looking north-north-west to the folly of St Ignatious (Riverview) College.
Headstone of Francis Charles Viret.

As there’s a house on the point – more pointedly a tennis court – the closest you can get is Viret Street Reserve.

According to the plaque, Francis Charles Viret was a signatory to the successful petition to have Hunters Hill declared a municipality. His grave was lost when Victoria Road was widened but his headstone now stands in this much more peaceful and pleasant spot.

Viret Street Reserve is a tiny little park sandwiched between big houses at the end of Viret Street. Viret good.
