So named because the rock formation resembled a pulpit.
Charles Jeanneret, who built many a fine house in Hunters Hill, had Pleasure Gardens here in the nineteenth century. When man’s fancy turned to automobiles it became an oil storage depot. This was taken over in 1907 by Vacuum Oil, which became Mobil Oil Australia. In 1988 Mobil moved from Hunters Hill and their site at Pulpit Point was sold and re-zoned for residential development (early 90s McMansions). Now you pass by the gates of Elysium as you walk the muddy path of Pulpit to a modest low-lying park.
