From Sydney to Mosman
Born in Sydney, Tonkin grew up in Mosman, New South Wales. She graduated from the Queenwood School for Girls in Mosman.
Located along Australia’s southeastern coast, Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and the nation’s largest metropolis. Renowned for its natural harbor, sunny climate, and iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, the global city blends urban sophistication with a laid-back coastal lifestyle.
Nestled on Sydney’s Lower North Shore just eight kilometers northeast of the central business district lies Mosman, one of the city’s most prestigious and scenic suburbs. Formed on a peninsula bounded by Sydney Harbour and Middle Harbour, Mosman balances rich history with natural elegance. The area was originally inhabited by the Borogegal people before European settlement established maritime defenses and a thriving whaling industry in the 19th century.
Connected to downtown Sydney by a short ferry ride across the harbor, Mosman offers a tranquil retreat of boutique shopping, waterfront dining, and coastal hiking trails, exemplifying the refined, harbour-side living that defines the broader Sydney area.
