Spend some time relaxing and exploring Camp Cove - the first landing place for Europeans in Australia. On this walk you will head across the northern end of Camp Cove Beach up some steps to follow an old sandstone cobbled road. This road leads to a great vantage point with views over the Sydney Harbour to the city. This spot is also host to a large (disused) gun that once defended these shores. Plenty of history and beauty.

A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the
AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.
