Woolwich is a suburb of Sydney, Australia, in the region known as the Lower North Shore and Northern Suburbs. As part of the Hunter’s Hill Municipality, Woolwich can be found 11 kilometres north-northwest of Sydney’s central business district. Hunters Hill is a peninsula that extends from Woolwich, which is situated between the Lane Cove River and the Parramatta River.
The suburb gets its name from the London neighbourhood of Woolwich, which is located on the riverside of the Thames. The Parramatta River was once called the “Thames of the Antipodes,” and many nearby suburbs were named after places along the Thames, such as Greenwich, Putney, and Henley.

Mookaboola, often spelled Moocooboola, is an indigenous word that means “waterway confluence” John Clarke, an early immigrant who is credited with naming the location when he made a land purchase there in 1834, is the inspiration for the name Clarke’s Point. The area was first given the name “Onion Point” in 1835 by Samuel Onion, a pioneer landowner who also had an ironmongery shop.

A local labour union instituted the first such ban anywhere in the globe. The Builder’s Laborers Federation, led by Jack Mundey, was vocal in its opposition to the destruction of the local environment. They were successful in the end, and the area is still known as “Kelly’s Bush.”
