Sydney Harbour National Park-Bradleys Head
Watch the sun rise toward the WSW from Sydney Harbour National Park-Bradleys Head. The golden light begins around 19:32, illuminating the water and the distant city skyline.
06:44
Walk two minutes to Drift Cafe for coffee and breakfast. The cafe is open from 06:30, so it will be ready by the time you finish watching the sunrise.
Local tip
The walk from the wharf to the headland tip is short but involves some elevation. Wear sturdy shoes for the bushland track.
