WebsiteNiberlooner was the aboriginal name for Sullivans Cove renamed on 21 February 1804 by Lieutenant David Collins. He made his way ashore via a small rocky outcrop he called Hunter Island, which now lies under the building to the left of the Centre for the Arts on Hunter Street. Collins chose the Cove because of its fresh water supply and protected anchorage. Thousands of convicts landed here from England. Formerly the centre for salt factories, abattoirs and boneyards, Sullivans Cove is enjoying a new lease of life as a cultural and residential area.
