Semi-rural and bush-wrapped on Ku-ring-gai's doorstep — acreage, big skies and trails out the back. Where the northern beaches go quiet and green.

Bush-edged near Manly Dam, with trails and reserves close by. Leafy, family-paced and good for a walk.

Northern-beaches bohemia: surf, a barefoot village and bush running down to the sand. Relaxed to the core and made for a dog that likes salt in its fur.

Bush-edged northern-beaches suburbia, with reserves and quiet streets. Leafy, family-paced and good for a walk.

A surf-village beach between the headlands, relaxed and easy-going. Salty, friendly and made for a beachside stroll.

The quiet northern end of Manly's beach, with a headland walk and rock pools. Salty, relaxed and made for a coastal stroll.

Peninsula surf and a laid-back village, with the beach and Pittwater both close. Relaxed, salty and easy-going with a dog.
