Avalon
Avalon was apart of 1200 acres granted to Rev. JJ Therry in 1833, after Therrys death and failed attempts to mine coal, the land was purchased by AJ Small. He established Palmgrove Park, the golf course and planted the Norfolk Island Pines along the beachfront.
Avalon is home to the few remaining koalas able to survive in an increasingly urban environment, a reminder that there once were many more in Pittwater.
Avalon Beach is superb for swimming, surfing windsurfing and fishing. A rock swimming pool is located at the southern end of the beach. A shady park area provides refuge from the summer sun, together with picnic and barbeque facilities.
