No-one will ever truly know all there is to know about Sydney.
Every area has its own stories, its own hidden gems, its own bustling community.
Here are a few of our favourites for you to explore.
Aboriginal Rock Engravings, Bondi Golf Course
To see some of the most important Aboriginal rock engravings found in Sydney, look no further than the North Bondi Golf Course. Yep, that’s right. In the middle of the Golf Course, perched close to the cliff edge, is a sight of spectacular Aboriginal heritage. It’s a site that’s definitely worth visiting!
Visit the site here, or as part of the Walk from Bondi to Watsons Bay (without the 3.4km loop around South Head) here.
Viewfinder, Lighthouse Reserve
Multi-award winning sculpture Viewfinder has been installed in Lighthouse Reserve, Vaucluse.
Created by Sydney artist, Joel Adler, the 8.5 tonne sculpture provides spectacular and otherwise unseen views of the cliffs and crashing waves directly below.
Visit the site on the Bondi to Watsons Bay 10km walk, cutting out the 3.4km loop around South Head here.
Mary Booth Reserve, North Sydney
Spectacular views are waiting and some secret doors to be discovered.
Visit this part of the Walk in North Sydney by walking across the Harbour Bridge from Circular Quay and walking as far as your legs carry you.
There are so many wharves and ferries around to take you back to the city at different intervals.
Grotto Point Lighthouse
Designed in 1910, this active beacon lights the way across the scenic northern waters of Sydney Harbour National Park.
The Lighthouse is a short detour off the B2M, on the Spit to Manly Walk roughly 100m before the Grotto Point Aboriginal rock engravings.
View the detour here.
Rope Swing, Wellings Reserve
Hidden just off the pathway, on the Harbour side of Gourlay Avenue between Forty Baskets Beach and North Harbour Reserve is a rope swing.
Now we don’t know the durability of such a swing, nor do we encourage its use, but we do know it’s there and can be easily found by the public.
Again, we’ve included it on our detours map as a little red line South of North Harbour Reserve on the Spit to Manly Walk.
Good luck travellers!
Crater Cove Fishermans Huts
The secret’s out. The Crater Cove huts aren’t easily accessible and there are some rocks to jump over and balance down - a similar experience to walking the Spit to Manly Walk.
The path is a little bit hidden so we’ve written detailed directions here.
