Bespoke Private Tour of Sydney

นี่คือจุดเริ่มต้น

North Head

• 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.

Barrenjoey Lighthouse

• 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.

Wendy Whiteley's Secret Garden

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.

Paddington Reservoir Gardens

• The Paddington reservoir is a submerged structure that was built in 1864. A second chamber was added to the reservoir in 1876.
• It was constructed to store water pumped from a dam located at the Botany swamps.
• The columns in the reservoir were constructed from ironbark timber and supported segmental brick arches.
• The reservoir only operated until 1899. After this time it was used as a storage facility and for several decades it operated as a service station.
• However its roof collapsed and it ceased operating as a service station in 1990.
• In 2006 work began to restore the reservoir and convert it into a re-imagined space.
• Original brick, iron and timber fixtures were salvaged and the space that formerly stored water is now a serene area which includes a roof garden and a small pool and grassed area along with stairs allowing access to the area.
• Occasionally you will see wedding photos being taken in the area.
• The Paddington Reservoir is an oasis and a wonderful restoration project.

Barangaroo Reserve

• Barangaroo is an inner city suburb of Sydney located on the north west side of Sydney’s CBD.
• It was formerly a container wharf area and has been -transformed into a residential and commercial hub.
• The suburb occupies 22 hectares and includes a 6 hectare headland park (Barangaroo Reserve) which was completed in 2015.
• The reserve is essentially an artificial hill, but it certainly doesn’t look like one.
• It was created by a clever feat of engineering and earthworks so that a massive void, known as The Cutaway, exists underneath the parkland above.
• The roof of the cutaway required the fabrication, transportation and installation of enormous concrete spans, which underpin thousands of cubic metres of rock, soil, grass and trees.
• The Cutaway provides a unique area for cultural events, exhibitions, television shoots, food events and large gatherings.
• This visit includes a pleasant walk on a flat path around a around the reserve providing wonderful harbour views.
