On this last walk, we’ll meet at Chatswood Station and take a short bus ride to the Spit Bridge. This classic walk passes through some of the most picturesque parts of Middle and North harbours. We’ll follow the Manly scenic walkway along the shoreline, stopping to see Aboriginal engravings and Grotto Point Lighthouse. You'll want to pause and admire the stunning views of Sydney Harbour. We enter Sydney Harbour National Park at Castle Rock. From there, we continue on to Manly.
