PHOTOGRAPH DETAILS
DescriptionThe rising sun recalls this name: Eastern Farms as the area was east of Rose Hill (Parramatta). Eventually the area became known as Kissing Point. ‘Kissing’ is a nautical term: at that point in the river (Kissing Point) the hull of a boat would touch or ‘kiss’ the shelf of rock.
