David Pham Attention: Tourists looking for a scenic walk with bush & city views
Catch the ferry from Circular Quay to the zoo. The return walk from the zoo ferry terminal to Bradleys Head - Chowder Bay and back again takes 2-3 hours. Breath-taking views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, while escaping the hustle and bustle.
Grab a coffee and take away lunch from Ripples. Swim at Chowder Bay.
Heaven on earth.
For a comfortable walk, its advisable to bring gum boots or waterproof shoes, especially if it has rained in the days before, as the path can get muddy.

Sunni Wan This is an amazing walk from taronga zoo to middle head to chowder bay to balmoral track with beautiful views of Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera house - best to go when sunset in the warmer months.
Theres also alot of history highlighting the Japanese war and how they wanted to attack Sydneys borders. Go up and around to Middle Head then make your way back down and take right turn ending in Balmoral Beach for a dip. Or have some fish and chips there.

Rock Merjudio The Bradleys Head to Chowder Bay walk is one of Sydneys most picturesque and relaxing coastal trails, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and historical significance. The walk is well-maintained and easy to follow, making it accessible for all fitness levels. As you meander along the path, youll be treated to stunning views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge, framed by lush bushland and towering eucalyptus trees.
The track takes you through diverse landscapes, from the quiet, shaded forests to the open, breezy coastal edges, with plenty of spots to stop and take in the breathtaking scenery. Along the way, youll pass historical landmarks like Bradleys Head Amphitheatre and the old military fortifications, adding an interesting layer of history to the experience. There are also parts of the forest burnt with what we assume to be bushfires.
The walk ends at Chowder Bay, where you can relax by the water, grab a coffee, or even take a refreshing dip. Many families of all cultural background can be found here doing picnic, barbecues and just playing on the grassy terrain. There are many dogs in the Clifton gardens and they have a pretty wide area to play around. Whether youre a local or a visitor, this walk is a must-do, offering a perfect escape into nature without leaving the city.
