Double Bay
-
The immense wealth of “Double Pay” is almost a joke; people call it the plastic surgery capital of Australia. To the west is exclusive Darling Point, where you’ll find Major Mitchell’s (see A Walk from Circular Quay to the QVB) former harbourside residence on Carthona Avenue. To the east is Point Piper, which was home to Sir Lawrence Hargrave (see Hargrave’s Box Kites) from 1902 to 1915. In between is Steyne Park and the delightful Redleaf Pool, just below the lovely Blackburn Gardens on New South Head Road. William Street, Bay Street and New South Head Road border the main shopping precinct, where you’ll find all the best international retail stores.
