The Gap Bluff and Green Loop Walking Track

As the crow flies, it might first appear that this walk on Sydney’s South Head peninsula is a trek and a half to reach, but it’s actually surprisingly accessible from the city, thanks to the nearby Watsons Bay ferry wharf. Once you arrive, it's just a short walk through Robertson Park, crossing this slender finger of land until you reach the distinctive rock formation known as the Gap. Tracing the sea-facing cliffs from the ocean lookout, expect dramatic breakers and salty spray in the air as you follow this short track north towards Camp Cove and Green Point. And since such a bracing walk is bound to be thirsty work, you can round off your arvo with a drink or two at the Watsons Bay Hotel, as you enjoy the stunning views of the city skyline in the distance.
