History and Gun Emplacements at Cremorne Reserve
Cremorne Reserve was gazetted in 1905, which ended the threat of mines, factories and wharves on the point. Earlier, between 1891 and 1893, the Sydney and Port Hacking Coal Company pursued coal mining on the peninsula, but community and council opposition stopped the plan. The reserve also has historic gun emplacements, and the Robertsons Point lighthouse stands at the tip of the reserve.
