Bennelong Point
The point was originally a small tidal island, Bennelong Island, that largely consisted of rocks with a small beach on the western side. The island was located on the tip of the eastern arm of Sydney Cove and was apparently separated from the mainland at high tide.
For a brief period in 1788, this relatively isolated protrusion into Port Jackson (Sydney's natural harbour) was called Cattle Point as it was used to confine the few cattle and horses that had been brought from Cape Town by Governor Phillip with the First Fleet.
Bennelong, an aboriginal lad, was befriended by Governor Philip, who erected the hut for him on the point and took him to England, but after his return, he died in a brawl.
In 1788, a redoubt which mounted guns from HMS Sirius was erected and in December 1817, Governor Macquarie set the foundation stone for a fort named in his honour. It was demolished in 1903 and a tram depot, intended to resemble a fort, was erected.
In 1959, the depot made way for the Sydney Opera House which opened in October 1973. It was designed by Danish architect Joern Utzon, but after difficulties his resignation in 1966 was accepted by the Minister for Public Works, Brother Davies Hughes and the Premier, Brother Robin (Sir Robert) Askin.
In 1802, England was at war with France and Captain Baudin’s French ships were directed to anchor off Bennelong Point within range of the guns at Dawes Point.
On 17 September 1802, Capt. Anthony Fenn Kemp of the New South Wales Corps was admitted a Mason on one of the ships at a meeting precise over Lieutenant J St Cricq. One of the signatories to Kemp's certificate was Brother George Ballasis, the Dawes Point battery commander.
