Heritage

Heritage consists of those places and objects that we as a community have inherited from the past and want to hand on to future generations. Our heritage gives us a sense of living history and provides a physical link to the work and way of life of earlier generations. It enriches our lives and helps us to understand who we are today. Mosman’s heritage is diverse and includes buildings, monuments, Aboriginal places, gardens, bridges, landscapes, archaeological sites, streets and conservation areas.
