Sawmillers Reserve

Sawmillers Reserve is a hidden gem located in McMahons Point, Sydney, Australia.

The reserve is situated on the site of a former sawmill and several harbour shipyards. It is a small but picturesque reserve that offers lovely harbour views and a mix of sun and shade.

One of the must-see features at Sawmillers Reserve is the wrecked MSB hopper barge at the beautiful foreshore. The shipwreck leans to the side, and its jagged metal frame exposes many years of decay. Visitors can also explore the reserve's sculptures and fishing spots. Additionally, visitors can take a stroll along the water's edge and enjoy the beautiful views.

The best time to visit Sawmillers Reserve is during the summer months (December to February) when the weather is warm and sunny. The reserve is free to enter, and visitors can spend as much time as they want exploring the reserve's features.

To get to Sawmillers Reserve, visitors can take a ferry from the Quay, Balmain East, or Barangaroo to McMahons Point. From there, it is a short walk up the hill, a pause for a refreshing drink from the Blues Point Pub, and a few steps away down French Street to the reserve. Visitors can also drive to the reserve and park their cars nearby.

Sawmillers Reserve's unique features, coupled with its rich history, make it a must-visit destination. Whether you want to spend some quiet time fishing or strolling along the water's edge, or you want to explore the reserve's sculptures and the wrecked MSB hopper barge
