A bracket for a clothesline assembly, a clothesline assembly, and a method of fabricating a bracket for a clothesline assembly. The bracket comprises a first arm; and a second arm connected to the first arm at a vertex point such that the first and second arms extend from the vertex point to first and second mounting points of the first and second arms, respectively; wherein each of the first and second arms are configured to be mounted to a support structure at the first and second mounting points, respectively; wherein the first arm is configured to have a plurality of end terminals of respective strand sections connected thereto along a length of the first arm; and wherein the first arm is curved such that a convex surface of the first arm faces away from the second arm and such that the vertex point, the first mounting point and the second mounting point define a triangle in which an internal angle between a side of the triangle defined by the vertex point and the first mounting point, and a base of the triangle defined by the first and second mounting points is less than 90 degrees.
