Description
Yurulbin Point lies north east of Snails Bay and extends approximately 500 meters (1,640 ft) into Port Jackson at the northern end of the Balmain Peninsula. Louisa Road runs the length of the point and has spectacular views of Sydney City and the harbour.
At the end of the point lies the AILA award winning Yurulbin Park, an idyllic refuge transformed from a derelict industrial site in the early 1970s. The water frontage of the park offers panoramic views from Snails Bay, Goat Island, Sydney City and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The park contains interpretative signs with information about traditional place names of sites in the harbour and the history of the area.
