💡 Tips

  • Avoid driving on Military Road during peak hours; instead, use the scenic ferry service from Circular Quay.
  • Arriving at Taronga Zoo by ferry allows you to take the cable car up and walk down, saving your legs.
  • Parking near Balmoral Beach is expensive and competitive; taking a local bus is a much less stressful option.
  • The coastal walks offer striking harbor views, but bring your own water and sun protection as shade is sparse.
