1. Wendy Whiteley's Secret Garden
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 433 reviews
Everyone needs a secret garden in their life and you’re invited to visit Wendy's, a public garden and much loved oasis in the heart of Sydney. Located a short walk over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or stroll from Milsons Point and North Sydney train stations, the Secret Garden is a haven where you can explore meandering pathways discovering sculptures; enjoy a picnic basket or read a book at one of the tables beneath the garden’s canopy; or simply enjoy the nature and serenity of your beautiful surrounds. You may even stumble across a fairy. Created over 20 years by artist Wendy Whiteley, wife and muse of Australian artist Brett Whiteley, the Secret Garden is nestled behind Luna Park in one of Sydney's most spectacular suburbs, Lavender Bay. While its free and open seven days a week, there are steep inclines and a range of steps. Visitors with limited mobility may only be able to access the uppermost sections of the garden but we're sure you'll enjoy your visit.

A quick one-stop ferry ride from Circular Quay to Milton’s Point with great views of the harbor and Opera House, then a walk thru Luna Park and along Lavender Bay. A somewhat wild garden, a beautiful place to wander a bit and then to sit and relax, enjoying the peacefulness of the garden.

4. Cremorne Foreshore Walk

This walk offers a brilliant showcase of some of jewels that Sydney Harbour has to offer. We walked from Mosman Bay ferry wharf around to Neutral Bay. While there are a few stairs and inclines, it is quite an easy, straightforward walk. The path is excellent - concrete for most of the way. You do have to walk along suburban streets for a couple of short stretches, but given the decorative richness of the architecture in this neck of the woods, that was hardly an imposition. It took us less than two hours and we dawdled. The highlights: from Cremorne Point the views of the harbour are just sensational, especially towards the CDB; the 'smaller' views across Mosman Bay are equally beautiful in a more picturesque way; architecturally there is much to admire, from the many prominent harbourside mansions to the elegant 1920s-style blocks of flats. Last but not least among the highlights is the extensive 'natural' bayside garden established on public land over decades by local couple Les and Ruby Graham, who started the massive task of transforming what had been a dumping ground back in 1959. The story of the makeover of a weed-covered garbage tip to a delightful, serene landscape is a remarkable one, and is recorded on a noticeboard at the site. It is worth a read.
