at Sydney Harbour National Park

Sydney Harbour National Park protects various islands and foreshore areas around one of the world's most famous harbours. It contains rare pockets of the bushland which was once common around Sydney, and in these remnants you'll find a surprising range of native animals living in the park. Bradleys Head, with its superb views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, is along Bradleys Head Road (off Military Road). Taronga Zoo is also found here. Nielsen Park, where you'll find great swimming, picnicking and Greycliffe House, is along Vaucluse Road (off New South Head Road). North Head, home to the Quarantine Station and some fantastic clifftop views, is down North Head Scenic Drive (off Darley Road in Manly). South Head, known for its sandstone cliffs, historic fortifications and scenic walks, is reached via New South Head Road. Turn into Hopetoun Avenue, then go past Watsons Bay shops into Cliff Street. Middle Head, with its historic gun emplacements, is along Middle Head Road (off Bradleys Head Road). To get to Georges Head, just around the shoreline, take Chowder Bay Road. Dobroyd Head, which protects important coastal heathland remnants, is along Dobroyd Drive in the suburb of Balgowlah Heights. You can also get here along the Manly Scenic Walkway.
