Great historical swimming hole ! Up Watt St to King Edward Park. Bottom of park !!!
King Edward park has spectacular ocean views, Norfolk Island pines and a sunken garden usually ablaze of colour. On the southern boundary are the remains of the Shepherds Hill Battery and Gunner's Cottage which were in regular use from 1890 to World War II.
