Rushcutters Bay is a Sydney harbourside eastern suburb 3 km from the CBD. First known as Rush Cutting Bay because of all the rushes growing in the swamplands which were used for thatching houses, a large area (2.5 ha) was turned into Rushcutters Bay Park in 1878. It is surrounded by Elizabeth Bay, Darlinghurst, Paddington and Kings Cross.
