With an enclosed Middle Harbour tidal pool and a boardwalk on one side, this pretty beach is set along the Spit to Manly Walk and is the perfect spot for a refreshing dip. There's a small, grassy reserve shaded by a few Norfolk Pines for post or pre-swim lounging, and a swing set to entertain small ones. You can wander along the walk a little to work up a sweat and take in the views of the harbour. Find the beach via stairs from above Beatty Street (where you can park) in Balgowlah or by walking along the shoreline from North Harbour Reserve, both of which makes it a little less accessible than other harbour beaches. However, if you're able to make your way there, you'll be rewarded with one of Northern Sydney's most picturesque swim spots.

Fossicking is a popular and rewarding activity in the Oberon District. There are some perfect designated fossicking spots in the area, which include Porters Retreat Little River Fossicking Reserve, Sapphire Bend, and Campbell’s River Bridge Reserve. You maybe lucky to find sapphires, zircons, industrial diamonds, and gold. Gemstone hunting, when the sun is shining, is a great benefit when looking for something that gleams in the pan! It also helps keep the cold away. The simple pleasure of paddling in the water, focusing on what is swirling about in the bottom of a black dish, is remarkably absorbing and relaxing. There are also a number of dry areas where gems can be found, with a little effort. A sturdy shovel, sieve and a drum of water to wash the clay off the sparklers is all you need. There are a number of designated areas around Oberon, including Sapphire Bend in the Vulcan State Forest. Pick up all the information you need to enjoy your fossicking adventure. If you would like to receive a demonstration on how to use the fossicking kit before heading out on your own, simply call in and see staff at the Visitor Information Centre.

In 1854, geologist A.R.C. Selwyn reported a multitude of fossils in the limestone cliffs in a stretch of rocky bay beach between Mornington and Mount Martha. They showed evidence of Australian sea life from 10 to 15 million years ago and led to the beach being named Fossil Beach. Fossil Beach is not a sandy swimming beach but a narrow rocky beach where fossils were found. Along the tree-lined walk down to the beach, look out for native birds such as the yellow wattle bird and yellow robins. The small section of this bay can be explored via multiple walking tracks and a long sea wall built to aid entrance onto the rocks. The beach is also a popular leash free area for dogs.

A fossil leaf deposit with particularly fine detail has been preserved in Dalton, located just 10 minutes north of Gunning. Research has dated this fossil back to the early Miocene era, around 21 million years ago, when a lava flow dammed the Lachlan River and created a lake over what is now Dalton. The fossil can be seen under the shelter in the park along Oolong Creek. Dalton has long attracted the attention of geologists. Back in the late 1880s, it was a thriving gold mining town, with reports that in 1879 ore crushing batteries were operating 24 hours a day. The town is also famous for experiencing regular earth tremors as it is situated on a geologically active fault in the earth's crust.

Created by Antone Bruinsma, the Fossilised Forest sculptures in Alpha celebrate the area's rich collection of fossilised wood. These sculptures reflect the ancient and mysterious nature of the region’s prehistoric past, offering a glimpse into the life that once thrived here. Located in Shakespeare Street beside the picnic area, it’s an inviting spot to stop, relax, and appreciate art. Bruinsma describes the installation as representing a boulder that has been opened to reveal its hidden treasures—a fossilised tree. The artwork's contrasting rough exterior and the revealed inner beauty mirror the community's character. The central “tree trunk” of petrified wood symbolizes the essence that binds a community, radiating out to three larger elements that form a family-like grouping. The vertical pieces stand as guardians, welcoming visitors, while the horizontal piece provides a place to rest and reflect. The carved tree forms on the stones symbolize the ancient flora and fauna, leaving an impression that evokes wonder about life in the past. The use of black granite hints at transformation, connecting past to present, while the pink zeolite at the heart represents purification and mineral wealth. Antone Bruinsma’s Fossilised Forest of Alpha sculpture is a tribute to the land’s continuity, telling a story that links the past, present, and future.

Between Craigie Beach and Linley Point is a three kilometre section of rocky coast dominated by 20 to 30 metre high sandstone bluffs topped by a continuous foreshore reserve. A busy main road runs along the top of the bluffs behind the beaches and there is limited off street parking. Fosters Beach in Mornington is a fairly narrow, steep, rocky, west facing beach in the shape of an arc. It is only 80 metres long and the cliffs are steep and unstable so keep to the tracks. There is deep water close inshore at high tide and rips are present when waves are breaking. The main beach area is all rocks and not conducive to bathing. Fosters Beach is a dog-friendly beach and is designated as leash free for the whole year. However, always refer to signs at beach entry points as changes to dog restrictions may be made at any time by local authorities. Access is via via the Fossil Beach walking track from a small car park opposite #633 Esplanade and restricted to a steep slope down the bluffs. After a hundred metres the track branches off to the north to access Fosters Beach (also known as the Fossil Beach Leash Free area). Note: you can also choose to continue further along the track to the equally isolated Fossil Beach.

A detailed information shelter next to the trees provides an extensive history of the trees and has some incredible statistics. This is the perfect place to enjoy the sights and sounds of the karri forest. Sit quietly and you may be lucky enough to see some of the forest inhabitants such as a splendid fairy-wren, scarlet robin or maybe even a quokka. If the karri is in blossom, you will be able to hear the shrieking of the purple-crowned lorikeets as they search for the sweetest nectar in the tree tops. You can wander through the karri forest on one of two walk trails. Make sure you keep an eye out for the tree towers that were created in the 1930s to help detect forest fires and can be found scattered throughout the forests.
