As part of the Festival of Mosman, the Harbour Trust is offering a special tour of Headland Park. This tour will take you through two sets of fortifications dating back to the 1870s. Walk through underground tunnels and view the harbour from gun emplacements where soldiers once defended the entry to Sydney Harbour right up until WWII. Learn about the role Headland Park played in the defence of Sydney during WWII. In addition to historic fortifications you will also walk through beautiful bushland with magnificent harbour views, which now hosts artists, cafes, restaurants and businesses, with plenty of open space to explore. The tour concludes amongst historic buildings now serving as an artists’ precinct with parkland, BBQs and a cafe.
