Lloyd Frederic Rees AC CMG (1895-1988) was an Australian artist who lived and worked in the McMahons Point area from 1931 to 1934 and returned here in the 1940s and 1950s. He was interested in  depicting the effects of light, emphasising the  harmony between man and nature. His Wynne Prize-winning painting The Harbour from McMahons Point - now in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales - is of the view from this spot.   Things have changed a bit since then, but looking down at the light on the water from here is still pretty amazing.

Warning:  This area is open 24/7 except on New Year's Eve when the usual North Sydney Council restrictions for Sydney Harbour foreshore apply.
