Centre-ville, Blues Point

Blues Point is a harbourside locality of North Sydney, Australia. Named after local mariner Billy Blue in the 19th century, a convict who arrived in Sydney on the Minorca on 14 December 1801, transported for stealing a bag of sugar. Blues Point is at the very southern tip of the McMahons Point peninsula and has spectacular views of Sydney Harbour. In 1817, Governor Macquarie granted Billy Blue 80 acres (320,000 m2) at what is now Blues Point.
