Blackwall is a charming suburb nestled in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. Situated south of Woy Woy on the picturesque Brisbane Water, it lies approximately 81 kilometers north of Sydney. With a population of 1,941 as of the 2021 census, Blackwall is a peaceful and scenic locale that offers both natural beauty and historical significance.

The area boasts a boat ramp and the Kitchener Reserve, a bushland recreation area that features walking trails and panoramic views from Blackwall Mountain. East of Kitchener Park, the area is locally known as Orange Grove, adding to the suburb’s distinctive character.

Historically, Blackwall was the site of the Rock Davis shipyard, which operated from 1862 to 1913. During this period, over 120 wooden-hulled vessels were constructed. Notable ships built here include the fast Sydney Harbour ferry Vaucluse (1905), the small 'sixty-miler' Queen Bee (1907), and the twin-screw coastal steamer Belbowrie (1911). The last ship produced in the shipyard was the ferry Woollahra.

The suburb’s name is attributed to Rock Davis, the shipyard owner, who named the area after Blackwall in London, a famous shipbuilding hub. Today, Blackwall remains a quiet and historical retreat with scenic views and a rich legacy in Australia’s maritime history.
