Bondi to Manly Walk at Chowder Bay, one of the precincts of Headland Park, Mosman

Chowder Bay is a stunning waterfront retreat on the Mosman shoreline and one of the precincts of Headland Park, the others being Georges Heights and Middle Head. It played an important part in the defence of Sydney during World War I and is also a place of significance for the Borogegal People. The area was occupied by the military from the 1890s until 2000, when it was opened to the public. For epic views of Sydney Harbour, including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, visitors can journey along the coastal walking track that links Chowder Bay to Taronga Zoo’s Athol Wharf via the historic lighthouse Bradley’s Head. The truly ambitious can experience Chowder Bay as part of the 80km Bondi to Manly Walk, launched in 2019. This massive network of public tracks spans the foreshore between two of Sydney’s most iconic surf beaches, and has pit stops at Headland Park.
