Seaforth Oval to Natural Bridge track is a scenic walk that’s full of history, but that’s not all that’ll get your pulse racing. The descent into Bantry Bay via the Timber Getters track is difficult and steep. About halfway down it crosses the historic Old Bullock track, which was constructed in 1856 to haul sawn timber from sawmills in ‘The Big Forest’ owned by James Harris French (after whom Frenchs Forest was named) to the shores of Bantry Bay.
At the end of the Timber Getters track, you’ll reach a rest area with toilets, once the site of the Bantry Bay ‘Pleasure Gardens' dance hall. From 1915 until 1973 however, it was part of the site of the Bantry Bay Explosives Magazine complex, which is what you’ll see today.
The Bay track follows the line of the waterfront and eventually winds its way up to the base of ‘The Bluff’. The climb is tough going, however you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of Middle Harbour when you reach the top. From ‘The Bluff’, you’ll follow The Bluff track until you reach Natural Bridge track. For a longer walk, take Natural Bridge track to Davidson Park....
