Walking Tracks
There are several walking tracks in the area, details are available on the Wild Walks web page www.wildwalks.com.au
Transportation
The area is governed by Mosman Council so expect to pay for parking, alternatively you can park around Mosman and catch a bus to Balmoral.
Another alternative is train to St Leonards then bus to Balmoral – about a 2 hr trip or train to the city then bus to Balmoral
Lunch
As restaurants can be very expensive in the area I suggest a take away picnic at Balmoral Park 12:30pm
