It’s not just the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge!
A short way from Sydney’s iconic attractions are hidden gems that show the history of our city and its contemporary sparkle.
Here are some of our favourites:
Manly Beach and North Head lookout Sydney University and museum Harbour Bridge Pylon Royal Botanic Gardens NSW Art Gallery Barangaroo Reserve Wendy Whiteley's Garden Paddington Reservoir Barrenjoey lighthouse and Palm Beach
A visit to some of Sydney's best colonial, art deco or contemporary architecture can also be included in the day.
Another option is to have lunch at a restaurant or cafe of your choosing. If you would like advice we will forward a list of our favourites.
Is a visit to a boutique ice cream shop, gourmet chocolate, donut or cookie shop of interest?

Pickup included
North Head has pristine heathland (including seasonal wildflowers) and panoramic views of the entrance into Sydney Harbour. This headland is a tied island linked to Manly by a sandspit and has remnant military buildings, a memorial walk and a former quarantine station.
At Palm Beach we walk to the Barrenjoey lighthouse which was built in 1881. It dominates the headland and is a well maintained sandstone lighthouse. The walk to the lighthouse provides outstanding coastal views of Pittwater and Lion Island and a chance to see interesting sandstone formations and the Australian bush. After the lighthouse we will drive along Palm Beach and have the option of stopping at Summer Bay if you are a Home and Away (a long running tv series) devotee. We then take the back route and some wonderful coastal scenery.
A living work of art! Wendy's garden is a serene place in which to admire wonderful landscaping, lush plants and views of Sydney Harbour.
