Sydney's Northern Suburbs New South Wales Australia

Bounded by Sydney Harbour, the Pacific Ocean and Sydney Harbour National Park, Sydney’s North offers a tranquil hideaway only a short ferry ride from the city centre.

Manly is a place of natural beauty, beach culture and good living. Manly offers a range of recreational activities such as learning to surf or dive, bike riding, roller blading or parasailing in the summer months, or just relax and enjoy the ocean views and harbour breezes at one of the cafes or restaurants.

Sydney’s North also offers a wide range of shopping experiences. Browse through the shops along Military Road, Mosman for quality clothes and designer homewares. Reward yourself with lunch or dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants on the esplanade at nearby Balmoral Beach only a short bus ride from Mosman.
