Henley is a quiet waterside suburb on Sydney's Lower North Shore along the Parramatta River, with calm, protected shoreline conditions that invite gentle snorkeling. The "Three Brothers" refer to a trio of prominent rocky outcrops rising from the riverbed near the Henley foreshore — these formations create a shallow, reef-like habitat where local fish species gather. The site offers an easy shore entry and is sheltered from ocean swell, making it a peaceful spot to explore the river's aquatic life on a still day.
