He recalls Captain Piper’s land grant at Point Piper and explains name changes to Point Piper road and district divisions. He notes postal confusions between Point Piper and Woollahra Post Offices and ends with a tongue in cheek hope that the council’s quarrel with order does not lift its soul too high.
