About Mosman
Positioned on the harbour and blessed with several pocket-sized harbour beaches, Mosman is one of the most sophisticated shopping and dining neighbourhoods in Sydney. Designer boutiques, antiques shops and hip cafes line Military Road while one of Sydney's most popular attractions, Taronga Zoo, is nearby, at Bradleys Head. Explore Mosman using the free community bus, The Mosman Rider, that travels daily on a loop of the area taking you to Mosman's best attractions. Go to mosmanrider.net to track the bus and grab a ride for free. Follow one of the short, self-guided walks of the area which connect with the Mosman Rider.
For nature lovers, Mosman offers spectacular bushwalks such as the Taronga to Balmoral Walk, part of Sydney Harbour National Park. With its winding beachside promenade walk, Balmoral Beach is popular for walking, jogging, kayaking or enjoying the beautiful ocean views. A strip of fabulous cafes and restaurants lines the promenade behind the beach which has enclosed harbour baths and wonderful picnic spots that make Balmoral a popular spot for families and locals. Another perfect spot not to miss is secluded Chowder Bay where you can snorkel and dive in Sydney Harbour or enjoy casual dining by the harbour. Headland Park Mosman is one of Sydney’s newest parklands which has spectacular harbour vews, walking trails, cafes and more across Middle Head, Georges Heights and Chowder Bay.
