==History== thumb|left|The Sydney city centre behind Kirribilli in 1937. The two regions were linked by the opening Harbour Bridge. The name Kirribilli is derived from an Aboriginal word Kiarabilli, which means 'good fishing spot'. Another theory suggests that Kirribilli is an adaptation of 'Carabella', the name given by early colonist James Milson to his first house.
