Harbour Bridge to The Spit Bridge Walking Track
Highlights
- Start at the Sydney Harbour Bridge to experience breathtaking views of the city and harbour.
- Follow the scenic route through history, passing iconic fortifications and Federation homes along the way.
- Explore beautiful bushland and rainforest remnants, immersing yourself in nature's tranquillity.
- Pause at Athol Hall for a cuppa and a bite before enjoying a swim at Balmoral Beach.
This stunning urban foreshore walk begins at the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Start at the bridge’s southern end in The Rocks or its northern end at Milsons Point, and then follow its signage around the harbour’s northern shores.
On this superbly scenic route, you’ll tread the paths of history as you pass harbour fortifications and Federation homes. You’ll walk some of the city’s most interesting and exclusive streets and find yourself ensconced in beautiful bushland and rainforest remnants.
Hike east past Taronga Zoo and into Sydney Harbour National Park, home of the incredible Bradleys, Chowder and Middle Heads. Be sure to stop at Athol Hall for a cuppa and a bite to eat, before continuing on to the exquisite Balmoral Beach for a swim. Then press on until you reach The Spit Bridge; you may even get there in time to see it open and rise to allow boats through.
It’s easy to break this walk up into shorter sections by parking partway along the route, catching the bus or the ferry at Mosman or Taronga Zoo wharves.
