Walk to Ball's Head

This is a walk I will never grow tired of.

Walking to Ball's Head

One of my favourite walks in my backyard is the walk to and through Balls Head Reserve in Waverton. I love how the path winds through native bushland, with beautiful Sydney red gums and the sculpted sandstone lining the harbour’s edge. The views are absolutely stupendous — the city skyline rises across the water like a painting, yet I’m surrounded by birdsong and trees. It’s incredible to have this kind of natural beauty so close to where I live.

Balls Head is not just scenic — it’s rich in history. This land was traditionally cared for by the Cammeraygal people, and you can still find evidence of their presence in ancient shell middens and rock carvings. Later, during the Great Depression, people seeking shelter built makeshift homes here — a few traces of their life remain. Thankfully, community efforts in the 1920s protected the headland from industrial development, preserving it as the quiet, green sanctuary it is today.

Stroll with Aimee

Aimee and I met up for a coffee and then a walk at Balls Head. Always so wonderful to catch up and put the world to rights with this beautiful being. 

Balls Head: The perfect place for personal development

 Xenia and I have been meeting at Balls Head each Friday as part of a personal development project we are both working on.  So lovely to do it in nature.  It really is a special place and only a few minutes from home.  We are always paid a visit by the local bush turkeys. I love them so much.
