The Journey
Discover the history of Signal Hill, explore the North Head Trail, and visit the historic Pearcey Family Twine Store with local guide Randy Pearcey.
Book a Tour
Start your journey at the O’Brien Monument (located at the intersection of Signal Hill Road and Battery Road) and work your way — on foot — down a winding, narrow roadway into the Outer Battery. Via the Outer Battery, connect with the North Head Trail and explore out to the gun shelters (Used in World War 2). Take photos of the breathtaking views before trekking back to the Pearcey Family Twine Store and Stage for a history lesson. The final stretch back to the O’Brien Monument will take you along a different path filled with historical significance.
