==History==
According to historical records, the suburb name is derived from the first contact between Europeans and the traditional owners of the land, the Wangal Clan. The encounter took place on 5 February 1788 during Captain John Hunter's exploration of the Parramatta River, while Hunter was having breakfast.〔Russell, Eric. ''Drummoyne: a western suburbs' history from 1794''. Drummoyne, N.S.W.: Council of the Municipality of Drummoyne, Second Edition, 1982. ISBN 0-9599312-1-X.〕 William Bradley, First Lieutenant on board , recorded the following entry in the log:
''We landed to cook breakfast on the opposite shore to them (Breakfast Pt.). We made signs to them to come over and waved green boughs. Soon after which 7 of them came over in 2 canoes and landed near our boats. They left their spears in the canoes and came to us. We tied beads etc. about them and left them our fire to dress their muscles which they went about as soon as our boats put off.''
Hunter, who was later to become Governor of New South Wales, is also remembered in the name of the nearby suburb of Hunters Hill.〔Cobley, John (Compiler). ''Sydney Cove 1788 - in the Words of Australia's First Settlers : The True Story of a Nation's Birth''. ISBN 0-207-15661-1.〕
