Grays Point, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grays Point is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Grays Point is located 29km south of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Sutherland Shire. The post code is 2232, which is shared with nearby suburbs.
Grays Point is a small suburb with picturesque views of the Port Hacking estuary. Grays Point is adjacent to the Royal National Park and the suburbs of Gymea Bay and Kirrawee. There is only one road available for vehicular access however multiple walking tracks link it with locations such as Audley in the Royal National Park.
Grays Point is largely residential, with a small group of shops located at Grays Point Road, near the intersection of Swallow Rock Drive. Most of its denizens rely on the rest of the Sutherland Shire for their services.
A large variety of wildlife resides in Grays Point, including possums, sugar gliders, Mopoke owls, deer (an introduced species), wallabies, magpies and kookaburas.
The origin of the Grays Point name is unclear. It has been suggested that it was either named after Samuel William Gray, who owned land on the point or John Edward Gray, who was a well-known resident ranger in the Royal National Park in the 1880s.
