The Woolooware Bay is a bay on the lower estuarine Georges River in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
Woolooware Bay was also home to local icon "Tattoo", a female Russian Blue ship's cat who lived for 10 years aboard a moored yacht with her owner, author Rachel Alexandra. Tattoo came to prominence through the children's book " Tattoo's Tale - All In A Day In Woolooware Bay- Diary Of A Ship's Cat" released in April 2024. Sadly,Tattoo died on 22 November 2025, age 14 and was buried above the sands that over look the entrance of Woolooware Bay.[citation needed]
The bay was the site of the last oyster farming on Georges River. The last oyster farming site there was closed in 2023.[2][3]
