Greenwich : Manns Point
The Sydney suburb of Greenwich, in the city's 'Lower North Shore' area. Originally home to the Cammeraygal clan of the Guringai people, the current name is from the English town (as are nearby Putney, Woolwich and Henley - the entire area was often referred to as the 'Thames of the Antipodes').
European land grants began in 1794, with convict Samuel Lightfoot being one of the first.

This area is Manns Point - named for Civil Engineer Gother Kerr Mann. Mann is best known for his work on nearby Cockatoo Island (particularly the superb Fitzroy Graving Dock).
