• Georges Head Memorial Park - Georges Head offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Sydney Harbour, stretching from the harbour entrance to the city and Harbour Bridge.

Due to its strategic location, Georges Heights was fortified to protect Sydney from potential invasions.

The British were always concerned about defense, dating back to the First Fleet days when the French departed Botany Bay on the same day the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Harbour (1788).

In 1839, a squadron of US Navy ships caused a stir with an unexpected visit to Sydney Harbour under the cover of darkness.

In the early 1870s, a Russian scare was triggered by several visits from Russian naval vessels on ‘training expeditions.’

As a result, Georges Heights was included in the list of locations suitable for fortifying Sydney Harbour, with cannons and a barracks for the gunners stationed in the area.

Georges Heights provides a glimpse into both Sydney’s stunning harbour and its military history.

• Balmoral - A popular harbour beach that offers a direct view of the heads and includes Rocky Point Island.
• Manly Beach - Experience the beauty of the aquatic reserve by walking from Manly to Shelley Beach.
• Curl Curl Beach - A sturdy timber walkway offers refreshing views of Curl Curl Beach. With some luck, a whale might be spotted in the distance.
• North Head Sanctuary - The North Head Sanctuary features Australian native bushland and spectacular harbour views.
• Barangaroo Reserve - Barangaroo Reserve is one of Sydney’s recent urban renewal projects. An artificial hill seamlessly blends into the surrounding area, with the Cutaway, a vast space for events and exhibitions, located beneath the hill.
