The walk from the Sydney Opera House through the Botanical Gardens and onwards to Mrs Macquarie's Chair and Wolloomooloo Bay is one of the classis Sydney walks on a sunny day. The Botanical Gardens sits on Farm Cove which was landing place for the First Fleet into Sydney Town. The name Farm Cove was given because it was the location... More

It was just beautiful and the morning breeze was just breathtaking. Had lots of photos taken and make a wonderful memories.

Fabulous. Botanical gardens are great. Lovely cafe where they do great meals or restaurant above but we didn't use that. Beautiful flowers etc and well kept gardens.

When we were there in April 2013, there was some reconstruction in progress necessitating a climb over a temporary bridge. However, wait until you have cleared the scaffolding and the view of the Opera House from the Botanic Gardens is excellent. The Gardens themselves are also fine and a pleasant place to sit a while away a few minutes.

It is just a great walk, with water views. Biggest problem is so many people on the path, runners walkers, strollers.....But worth the effort.

This is a great place to pack some food and take the family for a walk. It is particularly nice over the weekend so there is no need to rush. On a cool sunny day, its particularly nice and the gardens of course are worth diversions into them.

all kinds of cockatoo's all over. they have moved the fruit bats, flying squirrels out finally as they were killing several of the trees you will see on youe

Part of our Explorer bus trip brought us to walk around the opera house and then over to the Botanical Gardens. We didn't have much time, but what we did see was very pretty. I personally like the birds and to see cockatoos free was a treat.

It's an easy stroll from Circular Quay to Opera House, round to Mrs. Macquarie's chair, then up to the Art Gallery by way of the Botanical Gardens. Lots of benches to sit and read, suggest you have water and snacks before you set out.
