5 minutes walk from the house. The Israeli inspired menu (breakfast, lunch and dinners) is fantastic. The restaurant is modern and bright. The staff are always friendly and professional. Get there early on week ends!

You'll need a car to get there. Palmy -famous as the location of Home and Away sitcom- is a beautiful beach. Check out the lighthouse- go for a swim on the ocean or harbor side- there is a little bit for everyone. Take a picnic or eat there. There is quite a good selection of restaurants nearby- from the trendy Boathouse to the Baranjoey House on the Harbour or Dunes on the Ocean Beach.

Centennial Parklands encompasses Centennial Park, Moore Park (including the Entertainment Precinct) and Queens Park, in total around 360 hectares.

The park is quite large and varies greatly with formal and natural areas, sports playing fields, bridle and cycle paths, family bbq areas and cafes.

Probably the best way to see it is to find someone with a (sail) boat or to rent one (https://www.eastsail.com.au/) If you're not connected or don't have budget/ can't sail- the easy option is the Manly Ferry- departs from circular quay.

Great gardens in the centre of Sydney/ egde of the Harbour. Take a stroll and see native Australian plants (see if you can find the Woolomoni Pine). Or just sit under a tree and read a book.
