| Located on the northern shores of Sydney Harbour, Mosman offers a rich cultural life amidst beautiful bushland surrounds. Overlooking Middle Harbour and the Heads, Mosman is one of the most beautifully situated suburbs in the country, and boasts extensive public parks, sporting facilities and Sydney Harbour National Park.
Situated on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, just 5km from the CBD, Mosman is surrounded on three sides by the waters of Sydney Harbour and Middle Harbour and features a number of beautiful bays and beaches including popular Balmoral Beach and Chinamans Beach.
Away from the Harbour, the suburb offers a lively shopping and business precinct with stylish cafes and restaurants, and boutique shops catering to all tastes, styles and ages.
Mosman is well served by schools, sports fields, clubs and cultural facilities such as the Mosman Art Gallery, Cultural Centre and Mosman Library.
Taronga Park Zoo occupies a special place in the hearts and minds of local residents and Sydneysiders alike. It is not only home to an array of indigenous and exotic animals, it also boasts one of Mosman’s finest architectural novelties—the ‘Gate House’ to the Zoo—an architectural combination of classical, art nouveau, and exotic elements, which invites visitors into another world as they pass through its gates.
Among Mosman’s many fine sporting and recreational facilities are Clifton Gardens Reserve and Sydney Harbour National Park, Middle Head Oval, Georges’ Heights Oval, Balmoral Park & Ovals, Mosman Oval, the Esplanade & foreshore along Balmoral Beach, and football, tennis and bowls clubs.
