Party - Bob, Norm, Dave

This was a rather unusual walk - under the cliffs of North Head. We started from the car park near the Barracks and then walked down to just above Shelly Beach - then started on our undercliff traverse.



Above - Easy going on rock platforms



Above - looking back, this section had been harder





Above - For the next bit - we scrambled up above the cliffs and eventually made it to the point

Above - We find the way down







Above - This part was nice going





Above - To continue we could swim, or use the ropes.



Above - We used the ropes.



Above - More boulder hopping ahead.





Above - Looking up at an old concrete structure half way up the cliff. An old defence installation?

Above - Time for lunch



Above - Looking over at South Head





Above - The next section looked very interesting...... it was up some old fisherman's ladders. Very dodgy! And dangerous.







Above - Hornby Lighthouse on South Head and the city



Above - Bob makes it up the tricky bit - an exposed chimney. Rope would have been handy here (and harnesses and belay gear).





Above - Note the whale just in front on the boat



Above - Norm on the last bit of the climb



Above - View from Fairfax Lookout - looking back at our walk.



Above - You can just see a whale in the middle of the boats.
