Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longEducational | A trip where the leader will focus on teaching or training.First time friendly | A trip that is perfect for most new members (assuming you have a reasonable level of fitness)Photography | A trip that has a strong focus on encouraging people to capture photographs.Public Transport | There are public transport options to and from this activity.Slow pace | A trip where the leader will set an easy pace.Following the delightful presentation by Pam Forbes and Greg Jackson on the Quarantine Station on North Head, this field trip will ignore the rest of the North Head site and focus solely on this historic part of Sydney Harbour National Park. As A L Rowse once said, a good historian needs a pair of good walking boots. We will walk in the shoes of those who were quarantined there over the course of its history.
