Linley Point is a small peninsular suburb located on the Lower North Shore of Sydney, in the local government area of the Municipality of Lane Cove, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is approximately 10 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district.
Location
Linley Point is situated between the peninsula of Hunters Hill and Woolwich to the south, and Lane Cove to the north. It is less than 10 km to the Sydney central business district. Much of Linley Point is surrounded by the Lane Cove River, and is accessed from the south over Figtree Bridge, and from the north via Burns Bay Road. Due to its elevation many houses have views of the river and Sydney city, with some houses also having views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.http://b.domainstatic.com.au/w800-h600-w1600-h1200-2012187099_2_pi_150814_010355 {{Bare URL image|date=March 2022}}
