KeywordsThe Sydney Mail newspaper 4th June 1930, Page 40DescriptionThis photograph was published in the Sydney Mail newspaper in 1930 with the caption: "Although difficulties with the vehicle ferry across the Hawkesbury River will delay the opening of the new road to Newcastle, the highway from Hornsby to Kangaroo Point provides a delightful motoring trip. The picture shows the Picnic Reserve at Kangaroo Point - a picturesque spot and one surrounded by lovely scenery."
Kangaroo Point was named prior to 1824 when Thomas Edwards received a ticket of occupation for a point of land known by the name of Kangaroo Point near Long Island.
George Peat ran a ferry service across the river in the early 1840s and this continued to operate until the opening of the Pacific Highway Hawkesbury River road bridge in 1945.Physical FormatKangaroo PointDimensionsRobert Green Collection
