Such a beautiful spot. Not just because of the military history and gun emplacements that are in excellent condition, but the views from here are absolutely amazing. It's usually quiet, so plenty of room for a picnic to enjoy the harbour views. Just be mindful of the Kookaburras, as they may swoop on your sandwich and steal it!
Highly recommended for the walking track! A fantastic place to explore!
There is no admission fee to visit this location. The harbour walk from Sydney to Balmoral passes this lookout. It’s also possible to drive and park near this location. There’s a bus service that operates along Middle Head Road - the bus stop is about 800 metres from the lookout. At this location, you can read plaques that highlight the location’s history:
“Australia’s Aboriginal tribes attached great importance to some particular headland…to practice their ceremonies, settle their disputes, and arrange matters appertaining to the welfare of the tribe. Georges Head was often the scene of these meetings” - Town and Country Journal, 7 October 1871.
“Port Jackson I believe to be, without exception, the finest and most extensive harbour in the universe, and at the same time the most secure” - John White, surgeon-general, First Fleet, 26 January 1788.

This is one of my favourite places on the lower north shore. Amazing harbour views. Always parking spaces. You've got frenchy's cafe right next door and a great walking track. I find it really peaceful here whether just sitting with a coffee or going for a run or taking the family for a walk. Definitely visit this place.
Had the whole place to ourselves during an afternoon walk. Very relaxing, good for some meditation or even a picnic. Overlooks beautiful scenery. 🥰 even saw a wild rabbit!
A fantastic view, and if you're an history buff there's plenty to see and learn
Great view of Sydney Harbour, Middle Head, Sydney coast line, it's dog friendly. Must wear good walking shoes. Great place for bush walking.
