Mosman

Mosman, originally home to the Borogegal and Cammeraigal people, is one of Australia’s most beautiful and liveable suburbs. Surrounded by scenic foreshores and national parks on Sydney Harbour, it’s just 8km from the centre of Sydney and includes the localities of Balmoral, Mosman Bay, Beauty Point, Clifton Gardens and Georges Heights. Characterised by spectacular water views, a mix of heritage and contemporary architecture, and a close-knit village atmosphere, Mosman connects residents with a friendly community and the outdoors as the bustle of Australia’s largest city gives way to beachside reserves, walking trails and leafy streets. Calm-water beaches at Balmoral, Chinamans and Clifton Gardens, and views out past Middle Head, hint at a maritime heritage that dates back to the eighteenth century, most visible today at Georges Heights’ old military fortifications, and the active Royal Australian Naval base, HMAS Penguin. Marinas, sailing and rowing clubs dot the area’s foreshores, and various community and sporting clubs offer plenty of opportunities to stay active and connect with fellow residents. The Military Road shopping high street includes high-end boutiques and popular brand retailers, and delightful smaller precincts include Spofforth Street, Lower Avenue Road, The Spit, Balmoral Beach and Headland Park. Dozens of cafes and restaurants can be found throughout the area, with something for every taste. Mosman is also home to the famous Taronga Zoo and offers a rich and impressive annual program of cultural and community events, from exhibitions and festivals, to outdoor cinemas, music concerts, and monthly artisan markets. Residents are warmly invited to enjoy all that Mosman has to offer.
