Apart from the many beaches and the multitude of cafes and restaurants, this is also an attractive area for walking, with a variety of tracks offering magnificent panoramic seascapes. The closest café is 10 minutes walk away and a modern shopping mall is 18 minutes by foot. There is an hourly bus service to Manly Beach and return. The famous Manly ferry sails to the city's Circular Quay at regular intervals. A free community bus also runs at hourly intervals to the nearest shopping mall, with connections to other complimentary routes. Express buses to and from the city operate from the city during peak periods Monday - Friday. If you have children, it would be beneficial to have a car, especially if you wish explore the northern beaches. A stroll to Forty Baskets beach and a coffee at Forty Beans café on your way home is a great way to start the day. Alternatively, head up the hill to Tanya Park and grab a coffee and croissant at the Ball Boy café.
