Sport and Outdoor

As you can probably imagine, Sydney offers a wide range of events and activities for all types of taste and age. Why not try the Aussie Duck, described as a James Bond-style adventure. Guaranteed to thrill all age groups, it offers a ninety-minute, fully integrated city and harbour tour aboard its custom-built, amphibious vessel. Visitors embark at Rocks, then splash down a ramp into the water.

If you feel for a more sober experience, try the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Walk, a historic walk in a delightful garden that offers 11 walking tracks graded from easy to medium. There is even a special senses track designed for people of all abilities to be able to study and enjoy the beautiful and varied flora and fauna.

For the active sports crowd, there are many possibilities. Harbord Beach on the north side nestled between Manly and Curl Curl is also known as Freshwater and is a historic surfing spot. It was here that Hawaiian expert, Duke Kahanamoku, demonstrated the sport of board surfing to a large, admiring crowd in 1915. The waves are generally dependable and good for body surfing while the large rock pool at the northern end has an appreciative clientele.
