Rushcutters Bay Park
-
Rushcutters Bay, now the mooring of choice for some of Sydney’s finest yachts and the home of the Cruising Yacht Club, was the site of one of the settlers’ first run-ins with the local Eora people, on 30 May 1788. The Eora speared two convicts, who were collecting rushes for roof thatching after having stolen a fishing canoe. Today, this pleasant park contains tennis courts, a quaint picket-fenced cricket ground and stadium, lovely Moreton Bay fig trees and a pleasant kiosk and café. The park is much loved by both locals and their poodles.
