Funeral director in Milsons Point


Milsons Point juts into Sydney Harbour directly opposite Sydney Cove, where European settlement began in 1788. It is named after James Milson, a free settler from Lincolnshire who supplied ships with stone ballast, fresh water and produce from his dairy and orchard, and who died at his home Grantham in 1872. The last of the family's land was resumed in the early 1920s for the Harbour Bridge.
