North Head Sanctuary Foundation is working with Government agencies towards the establishment of Car-rang-gel Sanctuary on North Head at the gateway of Sydney Harbour - a flagship for Australia's environmental resolve and a celebration of our natural and cultural heritage.

Car-rang-gel Sanctuary on North Head, Sydney

Our MISSION is:
To secure a publicly-owned sanctuary of national significance for the whole of North Head, that is managed predominantly as a protected environment for its natural attributes; that celebrates our Indigenous, immigration and military heritage; and that provides a place of learning, research and contemplation.
