Our Place
Mosman is a place of great history and beauty, located 8 kilometres north-east of the CBD on Sydney’s lower north shore. It is one of Australia’s premier suburbs, with an unmatched setting on Sydney Harbour. The area is characterised by beautiful localities such as Balmoral, Beauty Point, Clifton Gardens and Georges Heights. Occupying some 8.7 square kilometres, Mosman features numerous stunning bays and beaches punctuated by rugged headlands and sandstone cli s. Natural bushland areas and foreshore parklands complement busy shopping strips and suburban neighbourhoods. The major thoroughfares of Military and Spit Roads both divide the area and connect residents of Mosman and those from further north to other parts of Sydney. Mosman’s history began with the Borogegal and Cammeraigal people and the area has since been renowned for activities as diverse as convict farms, whaling, artists camps, and military fortifications. As a destination, Mosman today is a great place to sample some unique Sydney heritage. The area is home to the world famous Taronga Zoo, as well as excellent harbourside swimming and recreation areas, top restaurants, and high-end retail experiences.
