Exploring
Discover a different perspective on Sydney Harbour. The Harbour Trust's eight sites provide new ways to explore this beautiful waterway. Walk through pristine bushland at North Head Sanctuary and view stunning vistas of the city and harbour. Absorb the remarkable convict and maritime history of Sydney's largest island, the gritty and historical Cockatoo Island. Take a journey through the military history of Georges Heights to find tunnels, gun emplacements and heritage buildings. Or scuba dive the waters of Chowder Bay, rich in marine plants and creatures.
We can show you some of Sydney's secret spots, now open to the public after more than a century of military and private use.
