ROSE BAY - POTTS POINT
'Our group of twenty (depending on the time of day) walkers set out from Rose Bay wharf on an unexpectedly warm and sunny day. During the day we met other similar groups enjoying their outings.
The walk began with a walk round the harbour’s edge, and included visiting several harbour beaches.
The older parts of the city provided out of the way back streets, and many flights of stairs, none of which provided a problem for our hardy group.'

'We admired (from the street) the Yellow House, Boomerang, and Elizabeth Bay House.' (Elizabeth Bay House).
FINGER WHARF
'The walk inside the Finger Wharf revealed its historic past, and we found a spot for lunch comfortably seated in the wharf area opposite.'
MRS MACQUARIE'S CHAIR - QUAY
'After lunch, we continued by the water round to Mrs Macquarie's Chair, the Botanic Gardens, the Opera House, and back to the Quay.'
