The suburb of Mosman derived its name from Archibald Mosman (15 October 1799
–
29 January 1863), a Scottish-born merchant. With his twin brother George, the duo presided over a successful, but short-lived, import-export business in Sydney before Archibald established a lucrative whaling operation in the cove that took his name.
ARCHIBALD’S whaling venture was established in Great Sirius Cove – now known as Mosman Bay – then a forested, tidal inlet, with upper reaches that ended in shallow sandflats, an easy place to drag massive leviathan carcasses ashore to dismember.
AThe Mosman brothers, originally from Lanarkshire in the Scottish Lowlands, arrived in Sydney aboard the chartered ship Civilian on 24 August 1828 after a successful career in the West Indies growing and exporting sugarcane.
During this era, slavery was still rife in the French and Anglo-American-administered Caribbean islands, the latter centred in Jamaica. What probably motivated the Mosman brothers to abandon sugar and move into wool export in the rapidly-expanding colony of Australia, was the impending end of slave labour, as the Caribbean sugar industry went into economic decline from the mid 1820s.
Shortly after their arrival in Sydney, the Mosman brothers utilised a warehouse on George St for the export of wool to their distributor in Liverpool, England. The 40-year-old British colony was then being administered by Governor Ralph Darling, a military disciplinarian who encouraged commerce whilst ruthlessly suppressing performing arts, even banning construction of a theatre. (Ironically, Darling Harbour, now a major entertainment precinct, is named after this joyless tyrant.)
The partnership between the brothers was dissolved in July 1829 – presumably a business arrangement, not a family fall-out – then in 1831, a 4-acre (16,000m2) land grant was obtained by Archibald Mosman to establish a whaling business on the foreshore of Great Sirius Cove.
American whaling ships had been anchoring at nearby Chowder Bay since the 1820s, and the Mosmans capitalised on what was then a flourishing industry, which
also relied on Indigenous Australians to help locate and catch migrating whales.
Merchant John Bell, a Director of the Bank of Van Diemen’s Land, also obtained an 1831 land grant on Great Sirius Cove to operate a whaling station.
The Mosman brothers’ George St warehouse was sold in July 1832, while George Mosman moved into grazing. Archibald employed convict labour to construct a sandstone and timber house with a veranda on the eastern slopes of Great Sirius Cove overlooking the bay, which came to be known as ‘The Nest’.
The Nest was situated on 30 acres and included landscaped gardens, a vineyard and an orchard.
Demolished in 1921 during sub-division of the estate, it was located at what today would be approximately 17 Badham Ave (due east of the Mosman Bay Marina).
By 1833, Archibald and Bell had constructed a 600 foot (182m) wharf in Great Sirius Cove (the stonework has since been incorporated into modern seawall defences) and five sandstone buildings for their fledgling whaling enterprise.
Among the five, a barn built on the eastern foreshore is still in place – the oldest surviving building on Sydney’s North Shore – and today used as a meeting hall for 1st Mosman Scout Troop.
Archibald Mosman bought Bell’s whaling business and property and purchased adjacent land to eventually own 108 acres (43.7 hectares) across the cove. In 1835 the Mosman firm was operating two whaling ships – the 192 tons Tigress and the 221 tons Jane - and in that year they purchased a third vessel for import-export trading with New Zealand.
Sydney and Hobart became the two main ports of the Australian whaling industry, which until the 1830s peak,
provided the main income to the colonial economy before wool replaced it as whale populations plummeted.
There were 42 whaling ships based in Sydney in 1837, employing around 1300 crew, one of whom, American Herman Melville, later wrote the classic whaling novel Moby Dick
Whale oil and baleen (filter teeth) were extracted by baywhalers in small boats who hunted southern right whales found breeding in sheltered coves during the winter months. Baleen was used for women’s corsets and hooped skirt frames and men’s shirt collars, as well as umbrella frames, hat brims and whip handles.
Migrating sperm whales were the primary targets of ocean whalers, because in addition to their insulating blubber that was rendered into lamp oil and candle wax, they had a reservoir of ‘spermaceti’ oil in a cavity in their heads that was prized for engine lubrication, and ‘ambergris’, a substance produced in their stomachs that was added to perfume to preserve the exotic scent.
In 1838, now a business leviathan with stakes and investments in a variety of companies, Archibald Mosman sold his whaling venture to investors and landholders Hughes & Hosking (business partners John Hosking Jnr and John Hughes), although he continued to receive an annual fee in dividends.
The cove itself had diversified into a major ship careening and refitting operation and the inlet was renamed Mosman’s Bay.
Unfortunately, in 1843 the Hughes & Hosking company was bankrupted in the Great Depression, simultaneously bringing down the Bank of Australia due to their being major shareholders.
In August 1844 Archibald Mosman was also bankrupted and had to sell assets to stay afloat, although the Great Sirius Cove whaling operation was already in decline.
Archibald Mosman left the forested bay he transformed into a thriving industry and purchased Furracabad Station, a ranch near Glen Innes in northern NSW –which is still operational as a cattle stud – and settled into life as a livestock farmer. There his fortunes recovered and improved.
He had two families, to sisters, the first of whom, Charlotte Farquharson, a domestic servant of his brother George, he fathered three children. Their eldest son Hugh was born in The Nest in Mosman Bay in 1843, when she was aged just 15. Their youngest son, Archibald junior, was born in August 1846, when she was 18, and they separated shortly afterwards. Charlotte had four more children to her next partner, but died young at the age of 33.
At the age of 48 Archibald married Charlotte’s elder sister, Harriet, aged 26, in December 1847 and fathered another 8 children, six of whom survived into adulthood.
Archibald Mosman died at Byron Lodge, Randwick, in January 1863, aged 63. He is buried in Randwick Cemetery. His wife Harriet outlived him by another 20 years.

JJO BERTINI – an award-winning Australian artist with a thirty-plus year portfolio of painting, education and writing – is known for her desert landscapes, people and animal paintings and drawings.
With plenty of local and international exhibitions, publications and residencies under her belt, her creative focus has always been constant: a love for remote and inaccessible desert regions around Australia and the world.
With her dedication to remote areas, you might be surprised to know that Jo Bertini can often be seen in the streets of Mosman – one of the places she calls home.
We caught up with the artist to learn how she observes and celebrates the beauty and creative community in the harbourside suburb.
Why are you based in Mosman? Do you have a local studio?
I work between my studio in Abiquiu, New Mexico, USA, and my property in rural central NSW where I have a heritage woolshed studio. I also have a room in my parents’ house in Mosman that I use as a studio when I’m in Sydney for family.
Mosman is far removed from your desert subject matter. But it’s a beautiful place: with views of the Harbour and Opera House and many beaches and parks. As an artist who observes the world, how do you connect with the suburb, creatively, in your daily life?
I love Mosman for those reasons. It’s a rare phenomenon today to have so much preserved native bush and unpolluted
beaches close to a city. Daily walks and swimming are conducive to my practice, putting me in the right mind space of reflection.
The undeveloped foreshore and national parks are also
They also reflect my longstanding interest in inserting a “female” version of place into the historically predominant male archive. Other women artists of Mosman, particularly my Mum (sculptor Anne Ferguson, who has public artworks
both a sanctuary and a creative space where she composed some of her most well-known works.
Mosman’s music scene was particularly lively at the time, with community concerts, orchestral performances, and private musical gatherings frequently held at homes and local venues. Monk was an active participant in this culture, both performing and sharing her compositions with local audiences.
This strong sense of artistic community no doubt played a role in shaping her career, allowing her to network with influential figures in the Australian music industry.
Monk’s most famous work, Collits’ Inn, was a landmark in Australian musical theatre. Composed in the early 1930s, the musical was based on the real-life story of Pierce Collits, an innkeeper in the Blue Mountains in the early 19th century. The show was groundbreaking - it was one of the first successful musicals written by Australians about Australian life and history.
VVARNEY MONK may not be a household name today, but her contributions to Australian music, particularly in musical theatre and patriotic composition, were significant.
A pioneering female composer in the early 20th century, Monk’s legacy lives on through her work, particularly the iconic musical Collits’ Inn. While her music resonated across Australia, it was Mosman that provided the backdrop for much of her life and creative work.
Born in Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, in 1892 as Isabel Varney Desmond Peterson, Monk demonstrated incredible musical talent from a young age. She trained as a pianist and composer, excelling in both disciplines, and soon began writing her own works.
In 1913, she married Cyril Monk, an Australian violinist and academic, and together they became an influential force in Sydney’s musical landscape.
Though she was born in Victoria, it was in Sydney - specifically Mosman - that Monk found a home and a thriving artistic community. Mosman, with its picturesque harbourside setting, had become a hub for artists, writers, and musicians in the early 20th century. The creative energy of the area, along with its social circles, provided a fertile ground for Monk’s compositions.
She lived in Mosman for much of her life, and the suburb played a crucial role in her artistic journey. During the 1920s and 1930s, Mosman was a vibrant cultural hub, attracting composers, painters, and playwrights who sought inspiration from its natural beauty and artistic milieu.
Monk was no exception—her home in Mosman became
While much of the development of Collits’ Inn took place in Sydney’s theatre circles, Mosman remained a key location for Monk during this period. It was in her Mosman home that she refined her compositions and prepared for performances, drawing inspiration from the lively artistic community around her.
Following the success of Collits’ Inn, Monk continued composing, with her next major work being The Cedar Tree (1934), another Australian musical with strong historical themes. Though it did not reach the same level of success as its predecessor, it reinforced Monk’s role as a pioneering composer in Australian musical theatre.
Mosman was not only Monk’s home but also an essential part of her creative world. The area’s cultural vibrancy provided her with opportunities to share her music, collaborate with fellow artists, and refine her craft. Even as her works gained national recognition, she remained deeply connected to the local community.
Today, Mosman continues to celebrate its rich artistic heritage, and Monk’s contributions to Australian music deserve recognition alongside other creatives who called the suburb home. Her pioneering work in musical theatre laid the foundation for future Australian composers, proving that local stories could resonate on a national stage.
She passed away in 1967, leaving behind a legacy of compositions that helped define early Australian musical theatre. And while her name may not be as widely recognized today, her influence remains embedded in Australia’s cultural history.
As Australia continues to celebrate its artistic pioneers, Monk’s work serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling through music. Her ability to blend history, emotion, and melody ensured that her compositions stood the test of time.
AAS agents we are constantly asked “how’s the market” by clients to family and friends because we are intrinsically linked. And, given we are always immersed in the market, we can reveal a pretty accurate snapshot of what is happening in our local area in real time, long before the data is crunched and released to the community through mainstream media.
So, when we say it’s a good time to buy, by the time the media picks it up months later and buyers start to reemerge, it is generally no longer a buyers’ market. Conversely, when we hand pick owners and convey to them that they could sell for a premium at that time, we have firsthand knowledge in what we are saying (and likely have a string of buyers eager to purchase). Investors are generally on top of what’s happening and buy/sell accordingly. The principals of supply and demand are continuous.
So, what do we see for 2025?
We can categorically say, our local market in Mosman and the Lower North Shore is relatively resilient to the ups and downs, however, it has been slower than previous years, seasonally and in reaction to the current cost of living issues faced by many. With impending rate cuts and relief to come at some stage, buyer and seller sentiment is showing signs of improvement. Open home viewing numbers for the start of the year are significantly better already. We could throw around figures and percentages, days on market etc – so many different statistics from varying sources, however, we need to focus on the desired outcome of achieving a sale or purchase, regardless of market conditions.
If 2025 is a year you plan to be part of the market as a buyer or a seller it will come down to genuine readiness to proceed with big picture focus on gaining a foothold for your
future. Considerations for what you want to achieve for your lifestyle and future are more important than minutia and box ticking which can hold people back from seizing opportunities – and we have seen it happen many times. It is a tough market out there, especially in highly sought after locations, however, an alternate strategy like buying in an area we can afford and renting in the area we want to reside, offers an opportunity to get started (rentvestor). It sounds easier said than done but it’s doable. The same applies to sellers where they may not be reaching price expectation but before pulling off the market, consider that buying in the same market often results in gains at the other end, and advancing in a desired lifestyle can offer way more returns in non-monetary value than financial shortcomings (that will likely be made up later).
All I can suggest is to find a way to make current conditions work for your end goals – as I’ve eluded, it is not always easy, but we see people make it work for them (me included) and they’ve never looked back. Small compromises can provide big wins in other ways and life is too short to sit back and wait for the perfect conditions to arise.
I’d welcome an opportunity to discuss any situation in which I can assist you to achieve your property goals in 2025. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time.
OONE of the architectural treasures of Mosman is Balmoral House, sitting midway up the hill and only several blocks from Balmoral Beach, and wearing all the charm of its 117 year heritage.
1908 from locally quarried sandstone, with timber-framed balconies, tiled gables, shingled trim, and large lead-light bay windows. Gorgeous landscaped gardens surround the building, with tall hedges and well-established trees helping to provide privacy as well as adding to the stunning outlook.
A generous north-east facing balcony provides nearpanoramic views to Balmoral bay and across the harbour. These views were enough to attract the likes of renowned Australian artists Arthur Boyd and Sidney Nolan, who both set up easels on the balcony to capture the scenery.
The property has been owned by various notable people and has been renovated and maintained over its lifespan to help preserve its originality while allowing for modern upgrades and additional comfort.
It was last sold in 2017 when it achieved a record price of $10.3 million — the first property in the area to break the $10 million barrier.

SYDNEY’S glittering harbour is famous for its iconic landmarks and vibrant marine life. Among its many inhabitants, the penguins - known for their waddle and distinct blue-grey feathers - are perhaps the most captivating. And while Sydney’s urban sprawl might seem an unlikely place for penguin sightings, the harbour and its surrounds are home to a small colony of these pint-sized creatures. Here’s where and how to safely see them without disturbing their natural habitat.
The little penguin, also known as the fairy penguin, is the world’s smallest penguin species. Growing to just 30–33 cm in height, these penguins are nocturnal on land, returning to their burrows after dusk. In Sydney Harbour, the primary colony is located on Manly’s North Head, a short ferry ride from the CBD.
This colony is particularly special because it’s the last breeding colony of little penguins on mainland New South Wales. Conservation efforts have been in place for years to protect these birds, which face threats from urban development, domestic pets, and human interference.
Manly is your best bet for spotting penguins in Sydney.
At night, you might see them swimming near the wharf or hear their distinctive calls as they return to their nests. While sightings are not guaranteed, the area is known for occasional penguin activity, particularly during the breeding season (June to February).
The Manly Cove boardwalk is another spot where penguins are often sighted. Visitors are encouraged to keep their distance and avoid using flash photography, as bright lights can distress the birds.
For a more immersive experience, head to North Head Sanctuary, a protected area managed by the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust. While penguins are rarely visible during the day, you can take a guided tour or explore the area at dusk when the birds are most active.
North Head is also a great place to learn about the conservation efforts protecting these penguins. Educational signage and volunteer-led initiatives provide insights into their habits and the challenges they face.
The historic Q Station at North Head is another location where little penguins have been spotted. The area’s quiet, secluded beaches and rocky outcrops provide ideal nesting sites. Q Station also offers eco-friendly tours that highlight

the local wildlife, including penguins, in a way that minimizes disruption to their habitat.
Located at the northernmost tip of Sydney’s beaches, Barrenjoey headland is a lesser-known but rewarding spot for wildlife enthusiasts. Penguins have occasionally been seen swimming near the headland’s rocky shores. While sightings here are rarer, the pristine environment makes it worth a visit.
How to safely observe penguins
Seeing little penguins in their natural habitat is a privilege, and responsible viewing is essential to ensure their survival. Here are some tips for safe penguin observation:
Avoid approaching penguins: Maintain a distance of at least 20 metres to prevent disturbing them.
No flash photography: Bright lights can disorient penguins and interfere with their natural behaviour. Keep noise to a minimum: Penguins are sensitive to loud sounds, so be sure to observe quietly.
Respect their habitat: Stay on designated paths and avoid entering nesting areas.
Leave pets at home: Dogs and cats are natural predators of penguins and can pose a significant threat.
Penguins in Sydney face numerous threats, including habitat loss, water pollution, and predation by foxes and domestic pets. To protect the Manly colony, local
authorities have implemented strict regulations. These include fencing-off nesting sites, installing artificial burrows, and conducting night patrols during the breeding season.
Volunteers and organizations such as the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust and National Parks and Wildlife Service play a vital role in monitoring penguin populations and educating the public. By supporting these efforts, we can help ensure these delightful birds remain a part of Sydney’s natural heritage.
If you’re eager to learn more about little penguins without risking harm to them, consider joining a wildlife tour or visiting an eco-focused organization. For families, Taronga Zoo offers an opportunity to see little penguins up close while supporting conservation programs.
Sydney Harbour’s little penguins are a magical reminder of the city’s rich biodiversity. By taking simple precautions and supporting conservation initiatives, you can enjoy these incredible creatures without compromising their safety. Whether you’re strolling along Manly Wharf at dusk or learning about penguin habitats at North Head, witnessing these pint-sized wonders in the wild is an experience you’ll never forget.

TThose immortal words by Shakespeare could not ring more true than they do for Jo Bloom and her partner in art and life, Charles Mayer.
THE two co-founded independent theatre company, Come You Spirits, three years ago, performing reconstituted Shakespearean works in the most unlikely spaces. The phrase “come you spirits” is taken from Lady Macbeth’s famous speech, calling on the gods to give her strength and courage.
It is an apt name for the theatre company, whose repertoire is comprised solely of Shakespeare works, and who also have a strong focus on spirituality.
Bloom describes Come You Spirits as being theatre in the old tradition — transformative and one with the audience.
“[To go] beyond entertainment and into the realm of more what it used to be in the early days, which is: how can it be an opportunity to change the audience, to really move them, to give them an experience that is deeply uplifting by harnessing the magic that’s in Shakespeare’s plays — those moments of big redemption — and put that on stage and really have a lens that impacts on the audience,” explains Bloom.
Bloom and Mayer have recently moved to Mosman but have lived in the general area for around ten years. They have performed in outdoor spaces and mobile venues including in The Haven amphitheatre at Castlecrag; in the tunnels of the Coal Loader at Waverton; on the foreshores of Kirribilli; and on the tall ship, Southern Swan sailing through
Sydney Harbour. Further afield, they’ve driven across the Nullarbor to perform in Esperance on the Western Australian coast. Recently, they had a truly unique experience:
“[We] performed in Stonehenge last year for the Winter Solstice, inside the stone circle,” says Bloom.
Come You Spirits is comprised of a very small core troupe: Bloom, Mayer and two or three actors who stay for various lengths of time. They perform highly condensed versions of selected Shakespeare plays, preserving the central themes, principal characters, and focusing on the main narrative arc.
Their latest production, Antony and Cleopatra, is being performed in, arguably, their most conventional setting yet — the Concourse in Chatswood. However, true to their nature, the Come You Spirits troupe are still providing an unconventional execution of Shakespeare’s work. The cast consists of Bloom (Cleopatra), Mayer (Antony), Charley Allanah (Charmian and others), and Nathan Meola (narrator), and the action moves between The Lounge, which is the lobby outside the theatre, and the auditorium itself.
Bloom and Mayer are thrilled that the Concourse has invited Come You Spirits to the resident theatre company.
“You know, for an independent theatre company just into our third year it’s pretty special to be launching into a venue like that…we’re so well supported by them,” says Bloom.
Antony and Cleopatra is playing in February and will be followed by Romeo and Juliet in May and Macbeth in August.
Meanwhile, Bloom and Mayer are settling into their new home in Mosman and enjoying the vibrant surrounds. They could not believe their luck when they found out who their neighbour was.
“We actually live next door to a chap who is an ex-actor himself and a university professor who used to specialise in Shakespeare, which is crazy good!” says Bloom.
Their son, Mercutio (yes, they really do love Shakespeare!) has just started high school at Mosman High and younger son Harley goes to the local primary school.
When not reciting Shakespeare lines in the wilderness, Bloom and the family enjoy exploring the offerings around Mosman, including the great eateries.
“The Avenue, which is on our street, we really do like that one. And the French creperie on Military Road,” says Bloom. What does she love most about living in Mosman?
“The greenery does feel like you’re in another pocket, like an oasis, it’s really beautiful,” says Bloom. “With the work we do, such big expanse of energy, it can be tiring on the spirit, especially when you’re playing characters who are dying all the time…so it’s really lovely to come home and feel like you’re in a sanctuary. I underesti mated how important that is, to have this beautiful green outlook and smiling faces, and coming into a nice calm environment. It’s really special.”

WWHAT inspired you to focus on pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic care?
Nomad Chiropractic has three female chiropractors who naturally gravitated towards pregnancy and paediatric care. For me, Lucy, it started unexpectedly while working in the Northern Territory. I was caring for babies with tongue ties for the first time and lacked the knowledge required so I immediately upskilled!
Kristin finds both paediatrics and pregnancy fascinating as they are the two phases in our lives where our bodies change the most. She loves supporting both women and babies during these transformative times.
Sandy’s passion emerged from her own motherhood journey. Experiencing the benefits of chiropractic during pregnancy and seeing the impacts it had on her children, inspired her to bring the same support to other families.
How can chiropractic care help babies with feeding difficulties?
We co-manage feeding issues with IBCLCs, GPs, and dentists. Research and clinical experience show Paediatric Chiropractic (or Osteopathy) may be able to help babies with musculoskeletal symptoms that are contributing to feeding struggles - for example: torticollis, TMJ dysfunction, difficulty turning their head, tongue tie, strong gag etc. Position in utero, forces during delivery, and interventions like forceps can all impact a baby’s musculoskeletal system.
We gently assess the cranium, spine, TMJ, cranial nerves, and primitive reflexes. If a correction is required the smallest thing can make the biggest impact. We demonstrate on the parents first, and then to try and restore func-

tion we conduct a gentle age-appropriate adjustment where the force is likened to checking the ripeness of an avocado!
What are common concerns expecting mothers have, and how do you address them?
Expecting mothers often seek us out for discomforts like pubic symphysis dysfunction, low back pain, sciatica, and round ligament pain; or simply to optimize their health for birth, regardless of their birth plan.
As Webster Pregnancy and GrowCo Postpartum Rehabilitation Certified practitioners, we help balance the nervous system, spine, ligaments, and muscles to support a healthy pregnancy, birth and postpartum!
What has driven your clinic’s growth since 2018?
The foundations of our ever growing little business are being personable, reliable, consistent, and delivering quality care with love. I started Nomad Chiro with two top of the range chiropractic tables, a vision of a beautiful, familyfriendly space and little else!
Growth has been fueled by an incredible team in Kristin and Sandy and a genuine care for our clients. We build trust through our commitment to supporting our local community, building strong relationships with local practitioners and businesses.
What role does movement play in childhood development, and how does chiropractic support it?
Movement is essential for neurodevelopment, as spinal motion stimulates brain activity. If a child’s strength, balance, or coordination is impaired, it may affect their ability to
sit still, hold a pencil, play sports and more. We try to make our assessments fun as we check kids’ vestibular systems, primitive reflexes, posture, strength and joint mobility. Age appropriate adjustments, home exercises, education, and intentional movement-based recommendations are how we support healthy development.
What advice do you have for new parents considering chiropractic care for their baby?
Give us a call! We offer a complimentary 10-minute discovery call to discuss concerns and determine if chiropractic is a good fit. If you’d like a consultation we’ll take things slowly allowing for feeding and breaks as needed.
Any recommended care we’ll talk you through and demonstrate first. If chiropractic isn’t the right fit then we have a network of allied health professionals we can connect you with who might be able to help! It takes a village.
As a mother yourself, how has your personal experience influenced your practice and the way you support families?
My journey with our midwives was so positive and supportive allowing for a smooth sailing transition into motherhood, which has highlighted the importance of nurturing and empowering women during this time.
It’s also been a reminder that even the most textbook birth can result in a baby born with slight musculoskeletal dysfunction. Both our boys had age-appropriate checks and adjustments within hours of being born and it made a world of difference. We believe in it so much that for any woman
under pregnancy care with us, we gift a complimentary newborn check for their little ones.
For Sandy becoming a mother entirely changed her focus in practice so it has had a profound impact on her work and life. Her kids are all in primary school now so she brings another element of relatability and understanding to her practice.
What do you find most rewarding about helping families achieve better health and wellness through chiropractic care?
Every chiropractor’s core toolkit is prepped for helping anyone with back pain, neck pain, headaches, and posture. Naturally we work with all of that as well - and we love it!
All 3 of us have done extra education in paediatrics and pregnancy focused chiropractic. What we especially love is getting to know and help entire families. When we help a baby or a child, we don’t just help one person - it ends up impacting the whole family and it’s such a privilege. We love caring for the whole family at Nomad Chiro!
WDine with a View at Mosman’s
WITH its stunning waterfront vistas, leafy enclaves and a thriving culinary scene, Mosman is the ultimate destination for outdoor dining. Whether you’re after a casual coffee with a sea breeze, a long lunch with spectacular views, or a romantic sunset dinner, this harbourside haven has you covered.
Here are six of Mosman’s best outdoor dining spots where the setting is just as impressive as the menu.
76 Middle Head Road, Mosman
For those who love a lively pub atmosphere with the option of outdoor dining, The Buena ticks all the boxes. This beloved local watering hole boasts a charming beer garden that’s perfect for an afternoon catch-up over cocktails or a hearty meal. The Buena’s menu features everything from woodfired pizzas to pub classics like schnitzels and steaks, all made with high-quality ingredients. Pair your meal with a craft beer or a chilled rosé, and soak in the buzzing atmosphere.
Building 7C, Chowder Bay Road, Mosman
Nestled right on the water’s edge, Ripples Chowder Bay delivers an unbeatable combination of fresh seafood, modern Australian cuisine, and panoramic harbour views. Housed in a beautifully restored heritage building, this spot is perfect for a long lunch or a moonlit dinner under fairy lights. Signature dishes like the crispy skin barramundi and the lobster spaghetti make this a must-visit for seafood lovers. Pair it with a glass of chilled Riesling and let the coastal breeze do the rest.
4 The Esplanade, Balmoral Beach
A Mosman institution, Bathers’ Pavilion is where fine dining meets barefoot beachside relaxation. Whether you opt for a seat on the sun-drenched terrace of the bistro or the more refined dining space inside, you’re guaranteed uninterrupted views of Balmoral Beach. The menu highlights
premium Australian produce, with the freshly shucked oysters and house-made pastas stealing the show. For an extra indulgence, stop by the café next door for a post-meal gelato or pastry.
2 The Esplanade, Balmoral Beach
Eternally popular, The Boathouse Balmoral Beach is all about delicious food served in a relaxed, coastal setting. Their signature fish and chips, mouth-watering burgers, and refreshing summer salads make for the perfect waterside breakfast or lunch. Grab a seat at one of the rustic wooden tables, soak in the sunshine, and enjoy a leisurely meal with the sound of waves lapping nearby. Weekends can get busy, so arrive early for the best spots. Open daily from 7am.
For a more refined outdoor dining experience, Ormeggio at The Spit delivers contemporary Italian with a creative twist. With a focus on sustainable seafood, the menu features beautifully plated dishes like the saffron-infused risotto and charcoal-grilled octopus. The overwater deck provides a dreamy setting, making it an ideal spot for a date night or a special celebration. The aperitivo hour here is particularly delightful - think spritzes, snacks, and unbeatable sunset views over Middle Harbour.
With its prime location overlooking Mosman Bay, Mosman Rowers Club combines casual dining with some of the best waterfront views in Sydney. The Rowers Bar & Dining offers an outdoor deck where you can enjoy a relaxed meal while watching boats glide across the harbour. The menu features a mix of fresh seafood, light salads, and pub-style favourites, making it a great spot for a leisurely lunch or a sunset drink. Don’t miss their fish tacos or the grilled barramundi burger - both local favourites.
WWALKING through the doorway into the rustic cornucopia of gourmet delights that is Fourth Village Providore is like passing through a portal to the other side of the world; you feel like you’re in a local delicatessen in a quaint Italian town.
Instead, you’re in the very heart of Mosman. The noise of traffic and high street hubbub disappear once you’re inside this unassuming mini-warehouse of delicious Mediterranean offerings. Salamis, cheeses, sauces, canned and pickled delicacies and much, much more.
Fourth Village represents 30 years of carefully honed skill and knowledge in the food business. It began in 1997 when Peter and Annette Quattroville (which literally translates as “four villages”) bought land near the Hunter Valley and began planting their dream. Several thousand olive trees later, and with the assistance of their three sons, John, Sal, and Dominic, the Fourth Village has established itself as a premium label, producing olive oil, jams, condiments, infused oils, balsamic dressings, and traditional pickled vegetables, all made with seasonal ingredients from the farm.
Now, the family is introducing a new way to experience their delicious produce — the Fourth Village Panini Bar & Café.
It is a completely immersive experience and delight for all the senses. Sit at a table inside the little market, surrounded by wonderful displays of fresh produce and preserves, and enjoy the house-made focaccia, fresh burrata salads, pastries, woodfired pizzettes, and famed desserts including their distinctive panettone French toast, tiramisu by the slice or classic Italian gelato.
The must-try dish is their centrepiece panuozzo, an Italian street food — the love-child of pizza and panini. Made with woodfired pizza bread and filled with gourmet ingredients, the signature panuozzo offerings include combinations like salami and mortadella with stracciatella, and a vegetarian option featuring chargrilled Mediterranean vegetables.
«While our restaurant has been a special place for many
years, reopening as Fourth Village Panini Bar and Café has been a heartfelt evolution of our family’s passion for sharing the authentic flavours of Italy with our community. The café brings a fresh and inviting space where everyone can enjoy our family recipes and traditions in a casual setting,” says Dominic Quattroville.
“Most importantly, this new chapter honours our family’s commitment to genuine Italian hospitality, where every guest is treated like family. We’re creating a space where people can drop in any time of day, whether it’s for a morning coffee and pastry, a relaxed lunch with friends, or a quick afternoon gelato. We’re thrilled to offer this new experience and menu offering while continuing to create moments of joy over great food, just as we always have.”
MOLLY - This 12 year old Cavoodle is showing no signs of her age, and still has the energy of a puppy! She enjoys her regular walks to the coffee shop where she gets lots of pats, and she especially likes popping into Mitre 10 for a treat or two. She loves chasing the lizards in the garden — but she doesn’t have much luck catching them. She has a very sweet nature and will always be beside her humans on the couch of an evening, wanting a belly rub. She responds to various versions of Molly – often farfetched — and retires at about 6pm every evening after her hard day’s work
MISTY & MONTY - She’d barely had her two little ‘foster’ kittens for a week before Renee knew she was going to keep the mischievous little rascals for good. And it’s been a happy, if sometimes chaotic home ever since. Misty and Monty are cute, curious, cuddly, rambunctious, and utterly Instagrammable (yes, of course they have their own account). Living with their singer/songwriter mum gives them a chance to play with props, try on costumes and even help compose a tune or two. And they don’t mind putting on a harness for a walk or jumping into the car for a long drive. But mostly, they just love mischief. @misty_and_monty_make_mischief
