Malabar Headland National Park — Attraction in Sydney

Middling experience. Beautiful park that's well worth a visit- when it's open to the public. Unfortunately the powers that be have decided to close the eastern (most interesting) part of the park for the majority of the weekend, every weekend, starting in May, so that the military can have live fire exercises all day (except on the second and fourth Sunday of every month; how generous).
