Removalists Tennyson Point.
A 10-street peninsula named after the poet Alfred Tennyson - and birthplace of the first Australian-born NSW Premier.
Tennyson Point is a small riverside suburb in the City of Ryde, sitting on a peninsula on the northern bank of the Parramatta River between Morrisons Bay and Glades Bay, around 10 to 11.5 kilometres from the Sydney CBD. The land was originally part of a grant to William Raven, a master mariner who sailed to New South Wales in 1792 as captain and part-owner of the Britannia and was granted the land in 1795. Brewer James Squire - the same Squire who established his brewery near Kissing Point in Putney - helped manage these properties for Raven until 1822. The very tip of the peninsula reaching into the Parramatta River is still called Raven Point in his memory.
Tennyson Point's homes are almost entirely detached - large properties on waterfront and near-waterfront blocks, with established gardens and mature trees. Properties here are substantial and long-held, and the moves tend to involve significant accumulated belongings.
The peninsula streets are narrow in places and the truck position needs to be confirmed before the day. Most properties have long driveways or significant setback from the road, which adds carry distance to the job. The Morrisons Bay end of the suburb is the tightest for access - worth checking the approach before committing the truck.

Morrison Road access, the compact peninsula streets, and what moving in Tennyson Point involves
Morrison Road forms the northern boundary of Tennyson Point and is the only practical road access into the suburb, given its peninsula geography bounded by water on the other three sides. For any Tennyson Point move, Billy plans the approach via Morrison Road regardless of the direction the job is heading - there is no useful alternative route given the suburb's shape. The compact size of the suburb - just 10 streets - means the internal road network is quiet and a removal truck can generally position without competing for space.
The peninsula's waterfront streets, particularly those closest to Morrisons Bay and Glades Bay, include a mix of older heritage homes from the original 1887 subdivision and more recent infill development. Properties on the older streets can have the narrower frontages and more compact driveways typical of late-Victorian subdivision, while newer builds tend to have been designed with more contemporary vehicle access in mind. Billy confirms access for any Tennyson Point property at quoting stage given the variation across the suburb's housing stock.
Tennyson Park gives the peninsula a genuine waterside community space, and the suburb's quiet, low-traffic character means weekday moves outside school hours are generally the most efficient option. The compact scale of Tennyson Point - around 1,200 residents across the whole suburb - means most jobs here are well-known territory for a removalist who has worked the area before, and Billy has done exactly that across the Ryde peninsula suburbs.

Common questions about moving in Tennyson Point
The land was once part of a grant to mariner William Raven, later passing to Mary Ann Farnell - daughter of brewer James Squire. Her son James Squire Farnell grew up on this land and became the first Australian-born person to serve as Premier of New South Wales, a notable historical distinction for one of Sydney's smallest suburbs.
Just 10 streets in total, bounded by Morrisons Bay to the west, Glades Bay to the east, Morrison Road to the north, and the Parramatta River to the south - one of the most compact residential footprints of any Sydney suburb.

Two locals, not a call centre.
When you book a Tennyson Point move, Billy or Jet runs it personally - not a call centre handing you off to whoever's free. They know the suburb's quiet internal streets well enough to plan the truck position and the day before it starts, not figure it out on the morning. On bigger jobs they bring in their own trusted, experienced team, but Billy or Jet is always on site - sometimes both of them. Either way, there's always a named person from The Movers Company accountable for your move. Every item is wrapped and carried properly, and your home - doorframes, walls, floors, at both ends - is protected the whole way through. Fully insured by QBE. No deposit, no cancellation fees.
