Cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the unique Spit Bridge to travel on the scenic highway along the Northern Beaches.

Pass attractive and trendy northern suburbs of Sydney on the way to the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. This vast area is home to pristine bushland and amazing birdlife.

Stop at West Head lookout, one of the most beautiful vantage points, with panoramic views over the numerous bays filled with boats to the mouth of the Hawkesbury River, views across to the fashionable suburb of Palm Beach and out to the Pacific Ocean.

The road north goes through Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, where Aboriginal rock art and many ancient wildflowers have survived. With luck you may see a kangaroo, a goanna or an echidna, and hear the extraordinary chorus of birds.

One of the most spectacular views of the tour opens from West Head, over Broken Bay and its many inlets, sandy beaches and wooded islands in the north of Sydney.

A must-stop is the exclusive beach suburb of Palm Beach. Near the lighthouse your guide will share fascinating stories of Sydney's bootleggers.

On the way back the road runs along a magnificent chain of golden beaches. Stop at Manly, once promoted as 'seven miles from Sydney and a thousand miles from care'. This scenic isthmus, washed by the Pacific Ocean on one side and Sydney Harbour on the other, is popular with locals and visitors for summer holidays, surfing, seasonal whale watching and walks along the many tracks of the national park.
