North Head Sanctuary

North Head Sanctuary is a nature refuge and former defence site protected by the Harbour Trust.

Scenic walking and bike tracks are an opportunity to discover a vibrant community of native plants and animals as well as significant historic landmarks. These include the tranquil Third Quarantine Cemetery as well as the Barracks Precinct and North Fort – a WW2 era artillery battery that once defended Sydney’s coastline.

Want to walk in the footsteps of the men and women who served at North Fort? Guided tours run every Sunday. North Head Sanctuary is located alongside the Sydney Harbour National Park at North Head.
