The trail begins at the end of North Head Scenic Drive and follows the Fairfax Walk, a paved path that loops around the top of North Head. Along the way, you'll encounter two lookouts - Yiningma and Burragula - which provide panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Sydney Harbour. The route also passes through the North Fort, a historic military site, and the Third Quarantine Cemetery, offering insights into the area's past. The walk concludes back at the starting point, providing a serene and informative experience amidst natural beauty.
