So named after Matthew Flinders and George Bass, who sailed through Botany Bay on the Tom Thumb and discovered Port Hacking. A sandstone monument stands in commemoration at the southernmost tip of Cronulla, on the Cronulla Esplanade Walk between Salmon Haul Bay and Oak Park.
Bass and Flinders Point is a beautiful location looking out over the river mouth and across to Bundeena and Jibbon.
