The panoramic view extends to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Middle Harbour and Manly. It’s the perfect backdrop to any event, making it one of Sydney’s most popular outdoor venues for product launches, conferences and wedding ceremonies. 

In addition to enjoying sensational views, you can find out more about Middle Head’s military significance. Explore the open gun emplacements, built in response to a feared French invasion, and see the unusual V-shaped dry moat at the entrance to Middle Head.
