Mosman Park - Old Battle Street Now these flats used to be on Battle Street which was very aptly named. In the 1970's the blocks almost qualified for their own police station. Now the road is blocked off from the highway, the name "Battle" has gone and they are most likely fairly up-market apartments! June 2008 |

Mosman Park - Buckland Hill Mosman Park from Buckland Hill. You can see the intersection of Stirling Highway and Wellington Street. If you look closely you may be able to see a train leaving Mosman Park station. February 2009 |

Mosman Park - Buckland Hill Buckland Hill was for ages a restricted military zone. These days it's open and indeed some of the land has been sold for housing. Here's one of the guns placed during WW2 to help protect the region. February 2008 |

Mosman Park - Buckland Hill Given the current talk about rising sea levels, this sign makes interesting reading. Rhodes Fairbridge undertook geological studies on Rottnest when doing his research on varying sea levels over time so information on this sign might well have come from his studies. February 2010 |

Mosman Park - Monument Hill From Buckland Hill looking across towards Monument Hill. You can get up there by driving along the extension to Boundary Road. About 30-odd years ago to get up there you had to "go around the back". February 2010 |

Mosman Park - Monument Hill Here is the Monument. I wonder what it signifies. There doesn't appear to be any signs saying why it was built and when. Is it a war memorial? Can't even find anything about it on the Internet. Someone told me that it was a WW2 military lookout station. February 2010 |

Mosman Park - Old Church Right next to the above Uniting Church is this old building. Is it the old Church or does it/has it served as some kind of church hall? It doesn't look very functional today. January 2011 |
