Bushwalking with City Views
An escape into nature in the heart of Sydney.
Overview
Shake up your Sunday routine with a bushwalk around Georges Heights in Mosman, from Chowder Bay through the former military barracks and on to Obelisk Beach. Along the way, stop off at Georges Heights Lookout for sweeping views of Sydney from Manly to Vaucluse to the CBD. This is also the site of a former WWI military lookout and hospital, so you'll be able to explore the remaining historic structures. Continue along the path and head up to Frenchy's Cafe to refuel with some French-Aussie fare like quiche and goat's cheese salad. Finish your trek at the nearby Obelisk Beach — one of the only legal nude beaches in the city — for some swimming and sunning. Despite its cult status, this secluded spot is usually rather tranquil, so it's the ideal spot for a post-walk skinny dip with more stunning views over Sydney Harbour.
