Sydney Harbour presents a setting with spectacular scenery, including natural bushland, secluded sandy beaches, rugged rock formations and cliffs, harbour islands, and flourishing marine life, while also providing habitat for remnants of our native flora and fauna.

These native bushlands and sheltered beaches – with captivating names such as Grotto, Store, Washaway, and white sandy tidal beaches that appear only at low tide and can only be accessed by boat – support local colonies of kookaburras, fairy penguins, and seahorses.

Traces of woodland covered by natural heath support the last remnants of the tall Coastal Banksia and the Sydney Red Gum with its smooth, apple-coloured bark.

These open heaths, forests, and small beaches express the natural light, shape, and form. In this natural setting, you can hear the distinctive sounds of native birds and the tidal waves crashing on secluded beaches.

You witness the combination of warm light and the blue sky during the winter months. The grass trees, with their fans drifting in the breeze, inhabit this place of calmness and tranquillity.
