Bronte Park

These picnic shelters are at Bronte Park overlooking Nelson Bay and Bronte Beach, in the eastern suburb of Bronte. The suburb took its name from Bronte House which was built in 1845 in this area by Robert Lowe, who became Viscount Sherbrooke. He had named it for Lord Horatio Nelson, who was the Duke of Bronte, a place in Sicily, Italy. Nelson Bay is also named for Lord Nelson.
