Careening Cove, Harbor cove in North Sydney, Australia.

Careening Cove joins Sydney Harbour with scattered private yachts at moorings, extending across to Rose Bay with water views.

During World War II, the cove contained Hayes and Sons Boatbuilding Yards, which constructed small vessels for military purposes.

The Cammeraygal people, original inhabitants of this land, named the inlet Wia Wia before European settlement changed its designation.

The inlet features a boat ramp and tidal flats at its head, enabling vessels to perform maintenance and repairs with relative convenience.

In 1789, the First Fleet flagship Sirius underwent repairs at this location after sustaining storm damage near Tasmania.
