Looking west-south-west to Iron Cove Bridge and Birkenhead Point (center).
Looking north-west to Snapper Island with Hunters Hill behind.
Looking nor-nor-east across the Parramatta River to Cockatoo Island.
Pellegrini's waterfront restaurant.
Looking north-east to White Horse Point.
Paringa Reserve looking north-east to White Horse Point.

Modest point but does have a point-front restaurant which is a rare thing. Don’t know if it’s any good but it was full. Good views of ever-popular Snapper Island. Worryingly close to Birkenhead Point but we’ll let that go. Don’t think it’s named after Jimmy Sommerville of Bronski Beat fame … but oop, here it is, named after a town clerk (Mr A.W. Sommerville, 50 years service). Used to be called Fig Tree Point, but so was a bucket load of other points with a preponderance of figs. Thank goodness for dutiful clerks.
