Nearly two centuries ago, Darwin wandered these same hills and shorelines, collecting specimens, observing the island’s unusual geology and plants, and recording his impressions of the strange colony perched at the edge of the world. On this walk, you’ll follow in his footsteps along the foreshore and into the remarkable Waverley Flora Park, a rare pocket of native bushland that has remained largely unchanged since Darwin’s visit.
