The core sites within the fortification sites are Middle Head (inner and outer), Georges Head except the WWII sites, Bradley’s Head, South Head sites above the cliff top, Steele Point, Henry Head and Bare Island. These are sites of high significance but also with potential for interpretation, visitation and which demonstrate the key aspects of the story of how Sydney and Australia was fortified.
