Local lore has it that there is a helpful ghost of a young boy at Point Ormond, a legacy of the initial site being used as a cholera quarantine station and field hospital for passengers of ships arriving flying the yellow cholera flag during early settlement. The point used to be much higher with a cliff face, before being used as a quarry to fill in the Elwood swamp, now canal. Anyway the story goes that a young mother dozed off while looking out for her playing child, to be awoken by a young boy in old style clothes who warned her to call her child back away from the cliff. She headed the warning and, called her child back, just before a large section of the cliff where her child had been playing collapsed. She looked around for the boy to thank him, but he's disappeared. Later, using her description of the boy, he was thought to be the ghost of one of the cholera victims. Point Ormond is one of the best lookout points for the city and south to the bay. There are sheltered areas behind the point for picnics and communal bbq's and tables are provided.
