Cooks River Loop Walk
This trail along the Cooks River passes through parklands with picnic areas and playgrounds. It’s is an easy walk and short enough for the kids to join in.
Manly Dam
An instant favourite, this trail around Manly Dam takes you through woodlands and swampy lagoons, past tiny sandy beaches and cascading waterfalls.
Rose Bay to Watsons Bay
This walk begins with a ferry ride from Circular Quay. Starting at one wharf and finishing at another, you can start at either end and it is for the most part a pretty level walk
Government House Gardens
Take a stroll or a picnic in the pretty gardens of Government House, open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Wendy's Secret Garden
The secret of this inner city garden is well and truly out and it has fast become a go to spot for weddings, parties and family outings.
The Basin Track
This is a return trip. You can go down and back up in 90 minutes or so but much better to combine it with a picnic or overnight stay.
