Just a short drive from Manly Beach, North Head Sanctuary is a coastal parkland situated on the peninsula, bordered by dramatic cliffs. A series of dedicated walking and biking tracks offers visitors the opportunity to discover military fortifications from the Second World War, as well as visible evidence of the nation's early quarantine practices.

Highlights include native wildlife, scenic outlooks, Australia's Memorial Walk, and historic landmarks, including North Fort and the Third Quarantine Cemetery. Were it not for the epic harbour views, it would be hard to believe you are only 11 km from Sydney's CBD. If we are lucky, we might also see migrating whales - bring your binoculars!

We will meet at North Fort Precinct, and attendees are welcome to take any of the available walks. Parking is available in marked spaces at North Head Sanctuary, and a bike rack is located outside the Visitor Centre. Subject to sign-posted time…
