Directions

A stunning foreshore bushland park within Sydney Harbour National Park, featuring a historic lighthouse, HMAS Sydney mast memorial, and sweeping views back to the Opera House and CBD. The walking track along the waterline is one of the most scenic in Sydney and remains genuinely uncrowded. Getting there requires a ferry to Taronga Zoo wharf and a short walk, which deters casual visitors.
