North Shore Walks

Because the North Shore now seems such a modern place, residents and visitors are often unaware of its rich history and the characters that lived there. But for the curious, Warungarea, 'the other side', has some fascinating stories to tell about its Aboriginal prehistory, the early timber cutters, and of sly distilleries operating deep in the bush. Let Joan Lawrence take you on a leisurely tour of the lower North Shore. Armed with maps, an historical time-line and background history, discover Admiralty House, Billy Blue's Cottage, Nutcote, Innisfallen Castle, and other historic sights around North Sydney, Crows Nest, Lavender Bay, and through to Cremorne and Mosman. For the less energetic or more far-ranging, Joan also includes a car tour of the upper North Shore.
