Area
Wentworth covers an area of approximately 29 km² from Woolloomooloo along the southern shore of Sydney Harbour to Watsons Bay and down the coast to Clovelly. The western boundary runs along Oxford Street, Flinders Street and South Downling Street, then eastward along Alison Road to Randwick Racecourse and Clovelly Beach. The Division of Wentworth is the division with the smallest geographical area in Australia.
It includes the suburbs of Bellevue Hill, Bondi, Bondi Beach, Bondi Junction, Bronte, Clovelly, Darling Point, Dover Heights, Double Bay, Edgecliff, North Bondi, Paddington, Point Piper, Queens Park, Randwick, Rose Bay, Vaucluse, Watsons Bay, Waverley and Woollahra.
The electoral redistribution in 2005 added the suburbs of Centennial Park, Darlinghurst, East Sydney, Elizabeth Bay, Kings Cross, Potts Point and Woolloomooloo while reducing the area of Randwick included in the division.

Famous quotes containing the word area:
“I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
“Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
