| Berry Island from Wollstonecraft Station |
| The first part of the walk is down a cool fern gully which winds between cliffs of Sydney sandstone. A short steep detour leads to a lookout with views over the inner harbour – a totally different view from those seen from the city side. The walk continues along the foreshore through open forest of Sydney Red Gums and Peppermints to the mudflats - where some mangroves survive - then on to Berry Island. This island is now joined to the mainland by a man-made isthmus. Fortuitous circumstances have saved this piece of bushland in its natural state. Sydney has one of the most diverse flora in the world flourishing on its infertile sandstone soils. A stroll around the island will provide an opportunity to see some of these plants including plants used by the Aborigines for food and medicine. Evidence of Aboriginal occupation including middens and a stone engraving can also be seen on the island. The return walk to Wollstonecraft Station is through a forest of Sydney red gums.. |  |
