About this place
A view of Rushcutters Bay before the construction of parkland and urban development, showing the sandstone Policeman’s Cottage in the foreground and villas on the slopes of Darling Point. This photograph captures a landscape that no longer exists, as the tidal flats and marshland seen in the image were reclaimed in the early 1880s to create what is now Rushcutters Bay Park.
