Pittwater

“...the finest piece of Water I ever saw, and which I honoured with the name of Pitt Water....” Governor Phillip, dispatch, 1788.


“The bygone days of beautiful Pittwater, its early residents whose children are scattered far and wide, its farms and orchards, its ships and fisheries, are fading from the memory even of those who call it home, and it seems likely that it will soon be only a playground for the city whose youthful needs it toiled hard to supply.” Maybanke Anderson, “The Story of Pittwater”, 1920.
