Kissing Point, New South Wales

Kissing Point is a point on the Parramatta River about 2 km south of Ryde,^[1] located in the suburb of Putney. Historically, the name referred to a much wider area than the current-day point; and perhaps originally to the point near Ryde Bridge where Settlers Park is now located, and where a 1948 brass plaque by the Council states.^[2]
