Woollahra is located east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Municipality of Woollahra. Woollahra is located on the traditional land of the Birrabirragal and Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

==History== Woollahra is located on the traditional land of the Birrabirragal and Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. When European settlers arrived in 1788, First Fleet officer Daniel Southwell translated the Dharug (the local Aboriginal language) word Woo-la-ra (also later spelt by others as Willarra and Wallara) as meaning "lookout", but it has also been translated as "camp" or "meeting ground".
