Bradley's Head (New South Wales)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bradley's Head is a headland protruding from the north shore of Sydney Harbour, within the metropolitan area of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The foremast of the cruiser HMAS Sydney, renowned for taking part in the Royal Australian Navy's first ship against ship engagement in World War I, is mounted on the headland as a memorial to that battle. In June 2000, the mast was rededicated as a monument to all Australian ships and sailors lost in conflict.
The headland was also used for shooting of scenes for Mission: Impossible II. The house seen in the film was built on location, then removed after shooting was completed.
Bradley's Head is now a unit of the Sydney Harbour National Park and managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
