views, as
well as one of
Sydney's best Aboriginal Art sites. You can also enjoy a picnic and swim, or catch a ferry to other scenic spots on
Pittwater.The Basin Trail is a 2.8km steep downhill trail to the water's edge (The Basin). Near the top of the trail whilst still on the ridge top, stop to explore the Basin
Aboriginal Art Site. From here, follow signs to the Basin
picnic area and
campground. The Basin features a large grassy area overlooking
Pittwater offering lovely surrounding,
views and safe swimming. It's a popular spot for visitors to come in their personal yachts to moor for the day or overnight and also via the passenger ferry that departs
Palm Beach (Careel Bay Wharf). There is a
campground here so if you're keen, back your tent and walk in to this gorgeous spot.To explore the Mackerel track take the left hand turn after the Basin
Aboriginal Art site. Head out to the point to enjoy the impressive
views across
