The line leaves Luna Park following the existing tracks along the edge of Lavender Bay. This line, although now only used for train shunting and storage, was originally a bustling line where the north shore trains would terminate and access was gained to the harbour ferry before the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

During the 1800’s and early 1900’s Lavender Bay was a busy marine facility with shipwrights, slip ways and ferry services from the southern side of the harbour.

Specific features in this section are the sculptures by local resident, artist Peter Kingston, that are located in the garden areas adjoining the ‘Peter Kingston’ walkway on the boardwalk between Luna Park and the old Lavender Bay Ferry Wharf. To the right is the renowned Wendy’s Secret Garden that extends from the walking trail up the escarpment to Clark Park. Beside Wendy’s Garden is the original station masters house, Berowra.

Ahead is 310 metres of tunnel with the layers of soot as evidence of the many years of steam train usage on this line. Above the tunnel lies the suburb of McMahons Point with its long history of marine-associated activity and interesting characters such as Billy Blue.

On the western side of McMahons Point the dimly lit tunnel ends and the walking trail opens to the views across Berrys Bay and access to Sawmillers Reserve on the eastern shore. Sawmillers Reserve is a tranquil place where the bushland meets the foreshore of Sydney Harbour.
