One of Sydney’s finest walks leaves from lively Circular Quay (where the ferries come in). Walk towards the Opera House with its telltale white sails and into the Royal Botanic Gardens, Australia’s first vegetable garden and now a treasure trove of trees, ferns, flowers and lawn. Criss-crossed by paths and tracks, it is a fine place for a picnic before aiming for Mrs Macquarie’s Chair for one of Sydney’s finest views. Carved from sandstone for the wife of one of the early governors, this spot offers stunning vistas of the Opera House, harbor and Harbor Bridge. On a sunny day, you’ll find locals sprawled out all over the gardens.
