Iloura Reserve, Heritage site in Balmain East, Australia.

Iloura Reserve extends along Weston Street with sandstone cliffs, native vegetation, and viewing platforms that face Sydney Harbour and its surrounding waterfront.

The land holds evidence of Aboriginal presence dating back 20,000 years before European settlement, with the Gadigal and Wangal people maintaining deep connections.

The reserve demonstrates the Sydney Bush School design approach through integration of local plants, recycled materials, and natural landscape features.

The reserve permits events for up to 250 people with prior booking, while gatherings under 30 participants do not require reservations unless external services are needed.

Bruce Mackenzie transformed this former timber yard into a public space using reclaimed wharf timbers and local sandstone blocks during two construction phases in 1970 and 1981.
