It is one of the most scenic harbour walking tracks in the world, taking you past modern harbourside suburbs, Aboriginal sites, native coastal heath and pockets of sub-tropical rainforest. Lunch is not included today – Manly has so much to offer from fine dining in waterfront restaurants to fish and chips on the beach. After lunch there’s time for a swim or to continue the walk further into Sydney Harbour National Park. Accommodation: Sydney Day 7: The itinerary finishes after breakfast |
