Darling Point is a suburb on the eastern side of Sydney that extends as a peninsula into the harbour, characterized by tree-lined streets and waterfront properties. The suburb connects to the city through bus route 328, ferry services, and Darling Point Road running along the ridge.
The name came about in 1831 to honour Eliza Darling, wife of the New South Wales Governor Ralph Darling. The area was previously known by Aboriginal names Eurambi and Yarranabbi.

The area is easy to explore on foot, with bus stops and a ferry station at the waterfront providing different travel options. Early mornings and late afternoons are the best times to visit, when the place is quieter.
