Sub Base Platypus

Tucked away on Sydney's North Shore, Sub Base Platypus is a hidden gem blending history and nature. Once a naval submarine base, this transformed waterfront park retains fascinating military relics like the submarine berths and heritage sheds—a dream spot for history buffs! Uniquely, it's one of the few places in Sydney where you might spot wild platypuses in Gore Cove. Stroll along the harbor with panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, and don't miss golden-hour picnics by the historic docks. A perfect mix of wildlife, maritime heritage, and breathtaking sunsets makes this an off-the-beaten-path must-visit.
