Sydney Harbour National Park protects various islands and foreshore areas around one of the world’s most famous harbours. It contains rare pockets of the bushland which was once common around Sydney, and in these remnants you’ll find a surprising range of native animals living in the park.
But beyond the scenery, there’s a lot of history, mystery and cultural heritage waiting to be discovered and explored. You’ll find buildings constructed with convict labour; historic maritime and military installations; and the Quarantine Station which used to protect Sydneysiders from infectious diseases. You’ll also find many Aboriginal sites – signposts of an ancient cultural heritage that still lives on, despite the devastating impact of colonisation.
Much of Sydney Harbour National Park is accessible by water taxi or water limousine. You can travel to any of the harbour’s small islands for an idyllic picnic lunch, or we can take you to Middle Harbour where you can explore the bushland surrounding one of Australia’s oldest military bases.
