Sydney Harbour Huts

Wind through coastal heathland to the Grotto Point Lighthouse (1910), then scramble on to Crater Cove, where a cluster of hand-built huts clings to the sandstone cliffs across the Heads of Sydney Harbour.

Built between 1919 and 1963 from local stone, salvaged timber and scraps of iron, the huts hold the story of a very different Sydney. This is the story of ordinary people who made a home in an unlikely place – your guides, archaeologists and historians, tell it where it happened.
