Breakfast Point, gate house (Theme Day: Breakfast)


The main entrance to the inner west suburb of Breakfast Point, which was named to honour the point of contact between Europeans and Aborigines. Captain John Hunter's expedition were exploring the Parramatta River and having breakfast here on 5th February 1788 when they encountered the traditional owners of the land, the Wangal Clan. John Hunter, later became the Governor of New South Wales. This was once the site of the Mortlake Gas Works of the Australian Gaslight Company from 1884 to 1998. Located beside the Parramatta River,  it was ideal for the shipping of coal used in the process of carbonisation to obtain gas. The process was discontinued in 1971 when natural gas from the interior of Australia began being piped here, processed by giving it an odour for safety reasons and then distributed to consumers throughout the Sydney area. The site was redeveloped to create a high density residential area with houses and high rise apartments. The historic gate house and offices have been retained and reused.

It recently hosted the Scarborough Art Show over a weekend.

Thirroul, memorial

The 'Amy Memorial' is located at the end of Bath Street, in the village of Thirroul, north of Wollongong. On 13 February 1898, the brig 'Amy' left Wollongong Harbour loaded with a coal cargo and headed north. The wind blew with cyclonic force and the seas were mountainous, which drove the ship ashore on Thirroul Beach. Despite a large crowd creating a human chain on the beach that day to reach within a few yards of the captain and crew, all were lost, including the captain’s wife and child. The ship quickly broke up and the beach was strewn with wreckage of every kind.
