Parsley Bay Reserve.
S 33° 51.148 E 151° 16.717

‘Parsley Bay Reserve is a popular family park, that includes an enclosed swimming area, picnic facilities and children’s playground.
There is also a short bushland circuit (15-20 minutes return), that takes you to a waterfall at the head of the gully. In summer Eastern Water Dragons can be seen sunning along the watercourse.
This park is a popular venue for birthday parties, school picnics and social gatherings.’

‘There are two popular versions of the origin of the name. One, that a hermit called ‘Parsley’ lived in early years in one of the caves at the head of the bay, the other is traditional and was probably used by the first exploratory parties (1788) to refer to an edible plant growing there, closely resembling parsley, which was used as an anti-scorbutic (scurvy) by the vitamin starved First Fleeters. The Bay was set aside for public recreation use in 1907 – it is one of Woollahra’s best kept secrets.’
Taken from the Woollahra Municapal Council Website.

‘The traditional owners of this land were members of the Birrabirragal people and they were known to inhabit the Sydney foreshore. There is evidence of the Birrabirragal with a number of shell middens and also some rock art sites.’
from one of the signs posted in the park.

my view is that it is a sheltered cove facing north east, close enough to the heads to keep the harbour water clean excellent for swimming. There is plenty of grassed area for kicking a footy and ample shaded spots to set down the picnic.
