On the northern headland of Kamay Botany Bay National Park, the track winds through coastal heath past the New South Wales Golf Club to a small footbridge onto the cape, where the tide spills over the rocks below in little waterfalls. Superb fairy wrens dance through the scrub, cargo ships head out of the bay to sea, and whales pass close in winter. Good to know: park at the rescue helicopter base for the short walk, or take the full track from La Perouse, about seven kilometres return.
