See and Do 
Visit 
In addition to our program of regular tours, we host special events – from concerts and art exhibitions through to sports competitions and community open days – that celebrate the natural and heritage values of our sites. We also promote attractions from within our thriving community of tenants. You’ll find details of upcoming events and attractions below.
Spanning 80 kilometres of harbour foreshore between two of Sydney’s most iconic surf beaches, the Bondi to Manly Walk includes pit stops at historic sites protected by the Harbour Trust; namely, North Head Sanctuary in Manly, Headland Park in Mosman, Macquarie Lightstation in Vaucluse and Sub Base Platypus in North Sydney.
Operating every Wednesday from 8am to 2pm, the Middle Head Market is an opportunity for locals and visitors to enjoy a pleasant, country-style bazaar atmosphere together with breathtaking harbour views and live music.
Need to 'sink' your hunger pangs or coffee cravings? Head to Torpedoes! Located alongside the pocket playground at Sub Base Platypus, this new pop-up café offers locally roasted coffee as well as a selection of breads, sandwiches and pastries.
End 2019 on a high with our New Year's Eve Experience at Cockatoo Island. For one night only, ticketholders will have exclusive access to the island, either as a guest in our waterfront campground or one of our holiday houses or apartments.
Between Saturday 21 December and Tuesday 18 January 2020, there will be an exciting program of school holiday activities including vacation care, immersive tours and historic crane demos.
