These places not only encapsulate the rich narratives of our nation’s origins but also showcase the ongoing connection to First Nations culture and heritage. They are key to understanding Australia’s early defence fortifications, colonial and industrial history, and are recognised at Commonwealth, National and World Heritage listing levels. Additionally, they serve as vital ecological links between marine habitats and the remaining bushlands of Sydney, positioned in the heart of one of Australia’s largest cities.
We welcome everyone to connect, celebrate and respect the natural, cultural and historical significance of our places as we foster their ongoing renewal and care.
