Named after the man who built Point House in 1851 - now the western anchor of the Gladesville Bridge, with one of Sydney's tiniest populations.
Huntleys Point is a small suburb on the Lower North Shore in the Municipality of Hunter's Hill, sitting on the northern shore of the Parramatta River roughly 9 kilometres from the Sydney CBD. The suburb takes its name from Alfred Reynolds Huntley, who purchased the land here and built Point House in 1851. Huntley had arrived in the colony with his family in 1836, following his father Dr Robert Huntley, who had first occupied land in Braidwood now known as Huntley's Flats. Alfred Huntley went on to open Turkish baths in Bligh Street in the city - on the site of what is now Adyar House - before becoming chief engineer for the Australian Gas Light Company.
Huntley's only child, also named Alfred, became a notable scholar at The King's School Parramatta and went on to work as an architect and civil engineer, building some of the distinctive stone houses that still characterise nearby Hunters Hill. Huntleys Point itself sits at the location of the north-western end of the Gladesville Bridge, one of three connected bridges - alongside Fig Tree Bridge and the Tarban Creek Bridge - that link traffic between Victoria Road in Sydney and Burns Bay Road on the Hunters Hill peninsula. The Tarban Creek Bridge specifically connects Huntleys Point north to Hunters Hill proper, crossing the creek that separates the two areas.
The suburb's population is genuinely tiny - just 142 residents recorded in the 2021 census, making it one of the smallest suburbs by population anywhere in Sydney. The Huntleys Point ferry wharf, previously known as Gladesville wharf until 2002, provides Parramatta River ferry access and had a lift installed in 2016 for improved accessibility. The wharf serves the Inner Harbour ferry route between Circular Quay and Parramatta. Hunters Hill itself - the broader municipality Huntleys Point sits within - takes its own name from Governor John Hunter, and the Aboriginal name for the wider peninsula area was Mookaboola or Moocooboola, meaning meeting of waters, a fitting description for a suburb positioned where the Parramatta and Lane Cove Rivers meet.
Huntleys Point's position at the foot of the Gladesville Bridge means the suburb has genuinely excellent road connectivity despite its tiny size and residential character. Victoria Road approaches from the city side across the Gladesville Bridge, while the Tarban Creek Bridge connects north into Hunters Hill and the broader peninsula. For any Huntleys Point move, Billy uses these bridge connections as the primary route regardless of direction, since they offer faster and more reliable access than navigating the smaller Hunters Hill peninsula roads.
Given the suburb's tiny population and correspondingly small number of streets, most properties in Huntleys Point are within easy reach of the main bridge approaches, and access is generally straightforward by Lower North Shore standards. The ferry wharf precinct generates some local foot traffic around ferry arrival and departure times, which is worth factoring into timing for any move very close to the wharf itself.
Because Huntleys Point sits right at a major bridge junction, traffic on Victoria Road and the bridge approaches can be heavy during peak commuting hours in both directions. Billy times the truck approach around this when a Huntleys Point job falls during peak periods, since the bridge traffic affects the practical drive time more than the suburb's own internal streets do.

"Moved from a Huntleys Point home right near the Gladesville Bridge - Billy timed the approach around the bridge traffic perfectly and the whole job was done before peak hour even started."- Richard and Sophie, Huntleys Point bridge-side move

Huntleys Point sits at the foot of the Gladesville Bridge and the Tarban Creek Bridge, both major Lower North Shore crossings. While the suburb's own internal streets are quiet given its tiny population, the bridge approaches on Victoria Road can be heavy during peak hours, and this affects practical drive time more than anything within the suburb itself.
