North Head
Lonely Planet review for North Head
About 3km south of Manly, spectacular, chunky North Head offers dramatic cliffs, lookouts and sweeping views of the ocean, the harbour and the city; hire a bike and go exploring. The area is believed to have been used as a ceremonial site by the native Camaraigal people. These days, most of the headland is part of Sydney Harbour National Park. Also here is the Manly Quarantine Station and North Fort for the military minded – tunnels, guns and the Royal Australian Artillery National Museum.
