McMahons Point
McMahons Point is a harbourside suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. McMahons Point is located 3 kilometres north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of North Sydney Council. McMahons Point sits on the peninsula flanked by Berrys Bay to the west and Lavender Bay to the east. The lower tip of the peninsula is known as Blues Point, which offers expansive views of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour). The postcode is 2060.
Once predominantly working-class, it is now among Sydney's most exclusive localities. McMahons Point is primarily a medium- to high-density residential area and is bordered by the surrounding suburbs of Waverton, North Sydney and Lavender Bay.
At the northern end of Blues Point Road (adjacent to the North Sydney central business district) there is a concentration of businesses primarily associated with advertising/marketing, publishing, media, computing, engineering, architecture and creative arts. This precinct is also home to many al fresco street cafes and restaurants and some speciality retail stores.
The suburb is served by a ferry for harbour ferry services and the railway (from Waverton, North Sydney and Milson's Point) on the North Shore line of the City Rail network.
