Towlers Bay is a locality and bay in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, north of the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, situated on the Northern Beaches. The name of the bay comes from Bill Toler, who used to camp in the area in the 19th century. The locality of Towlers Bay was named after the bay, but the bay's name was changed on 31 August 1984 to Morning Bay. The locality still takes the old name of the bay.[1]
