SUMMARY:Monthly Activity: Defence of Sydney Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tour summary: \nEstablished in 1936\, North Fort is a remnant military complex at North Head Sanctuary in Manly. \nStrategically placed at the northern entrance to Sydney Harbour\, the fort was part of a defence system that spanned 300km of coastline during World War II. \nThe Defence of Sydney Tour is an opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the men and women who served at North Fort. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide\, you will marvel at heritage gun emplacements\, once capable of firing 26.4km\, and descend into the 200-metre-long military tunnel complex. Finally\, our guide will demystify an underground bunker once shrouded in secrecy: The Plotting Room. As you explore this facility\, concealed within bushland\, you’ll hear how our specialist volunteers faithfully restored it. \nTour Conditions   \n\nThe 90-minute North Fort tour includes paved bush tracks\, stairs\, and approx. 20 minutes in underground tunnels\, and in another 20 minutes in the underground Plotting Room. Please note\, access to and from the tunnels and plotting room are accessed by stairs (approximately the equivalent of two flights of stairs).\nThere is no access for mobility devices in the underground tunnels.\nThe tour will proceed regardless of weather. Please wear suitable walking shoes.\nGroups must comply with all directions of the guides who have the duty of care to determine if any of the group is not mobile enough to participate in the tunnel section of the tour.\nA good level of fitness and mobility is essential for participants to enjoy this tour.\n\nDATE: Thursday 23 May 2024 \n\nTIME: 10.45am for an 11.00am start \nFinish: 12.30 pm\, Lunch /Coffee Spot at the Bella Vista Manly\, which is located inside the Heritage Listed North Fort Building at the picturesque North Head Sanctuary overlooking the majestic views of the Sydney Harbour.
