Sydney Skyline From Watsons Bay Lookout
Watsons Bay takes its name from Robert Watson who served on HMS Sirius when it arrived in Sydney in 1788. By 1811, Watson had been appointed Sydney’s harbour pilot and harbour master, and by 1816, the first Superintendent of South Head’s Macquarie Lighthouse, designed by Francis Greenway
Until the 1950’s, Watsons Bay was very much a fishing village, but in recent decades its sublime views of the Harbour and ocean, combined with its proximity to the CBD has seen it change into a chic residential suburb.
