Cremorne Point History Walk

Aboriginal people called this point Wulworra-jeong. Middens around the foreshore suggest it was a popular place for eating shell fish.

James Robertson was granted 86 acres here in 1833 but had occupied the area in the 1820s. James Milson bought the land in 1853 but failed to acquire the foreshore in the 1880s and 1890s. The peninsula was not developed until the early 1900s, and then for affluent Sydneysiders wanting fresh harbour air. Cremorne Point, as it was then known, became a showcase of the English Revival architecture so popular at the time.
