Vaucluse House is one of Sydney’s few 19th-century mansions still surrounded by its original gardens and wooded grounds. A visit to Vaucluse House makes for a perfect outing, be it strolling or picnicking in the grounds (accessible free of charge), dining in the tearooms or experiencing the spectacular refurbishment inside the house. Self guided tours are available. Regular opening days are Wednesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. Closed Christmas Day.
I grew up in Sydney but had never been to Vaucluse House ..it was fantastic stepping back into the 1800s and learning the history of the Wentworth family and the times of early Sydney they lived in...the gardens are superb, the guided tour by staff was excellent and very informative, the collection comprises a lot of original Wentworth family furniture , paintings and treasures...well worth a visit

Nielsen Park has been a treasured icon for generations of Sydney families. It is a beautiful harbour beach, surrounded by bushland and with great views across the (on sunny days) sparkling waters of Sydney Harbour to the CBD and Harbour Bridge. Entry to the park is free. The water and the sand are clean and the beach is protected by a shark net. Being a harbour beach, there is no surf. It is great spot for kids, and for family picnics and events, with spacious lawns and shady spots. Now, the downside. It can get really crowded over summer, and parking in this area is very limited. Be prepared to park the car some distance from the park and walk the rest of the way. If you can handle that inconvenience, you'll have a great day.

I have done this walk at least 15 times, easy to drive to and park, walk across the sand (near the kiosk) up the walk way and an easy walk out past the nudie beach to the headland walk which is a loop. There are the battlements, canon, lighthouse, the heads and then back to the view out to Manly then down the harbour back to the city. Best easy morning or sunset. Sometimes it gets a bit hazy from lunch to late arvo (but not always) - and it is still worth the walk.

what a view once you take the small hike up to Hornby lighthouse... on the way, you will pass the Lady Moon beach.. you can also see concrete structures which once housed canons or anti aircraft batteries to defend the Sydney Harbour area from any incoming ships...

Grab some take away fish and chips from the wharf and sit under one of the giant fig trees in the park and enjoy the view. Top spot highly recommended. Only issue is lack of parking.
