On 25 October 2014 the Association celebrated 50 years of protecting parks, bushland and open space and the development of a system of bush regeneration, known as the Bradley Method.

Volunteers have been helping restore this unique patch of sandstone heathland,  which honours the Bradley sisters, Eileen and Joan, who invented the concept of bush regeneration in the 1960s.

The Mosman Parks & Bushland Association had its gestation due to the work of Eileen Burton Bradley and Joan Burton Bradley, bush regenerators.

A talk given by Ann Cook, a committee member of the Mosman Parks & Bushland Association, to the Mosman Historical Society in September 2014.

Former Mayor of Mosman, the late Barry O’Keefe (20 May 1933 – 24 April 2014), told some wonderful stories about working with the Bradley Sisters in an interview he gave for Mosman Library.

This is an excellent guide written by the Mosman Historical Society in 2010, about the Bradleys Head area, including Sirius Cove, Athol Bay, Bradleys Head itself and around the point to Taylors Bay.
