Our local history series continues, with Robert Simeon taking a look back at the life and times of local builders Smith & Cabban, who rose to fame in the early 1900’s with their landmark Mosman “Merchant Mansions”.

When she wanted to play Australian Rules football eight years ago, Erin McKinnon couldn’t find a female team anywhere in Sydney. So, she had the idea to create her own, somehow convincing a few Mosman school mates to field a team.

Mosman home owner Huang Xiangmo, one of China’s wealthiest and most prominent businessmen, is unable to return to his Beauty Point mansion, after being denied re-entry to Australia.

It has slate flooring, vertical blinds and apricot pink fittings – but the dated 1980s décor did nothing to deter keen buyers this week, who fought for the chance to join Mosman’s exclusive “Golden Mile” club.

You’ve heard of snakes on a plane – but what about snakes on a beach? Yes folks, it seems we’re not the only ones enjoying the sunshine on Sydney’s iconic Balmoral beach – with a two metre Diamond Python also taking advantage of the warm November weather this week.

This week, network Ten’s Angela Bishop talks to us about her history with our beautiful suburb – and how she likes to spend her time in Mosman, when she’s not travelling the globe.
