Nothing beats a harbour walk on a sunny day in Sydney!! I'd imagine it wouldn't be as enjoyable in the summer but it is ABSOLUTELY fantastic right now! There are endless number of places to walk and each has a unique view.
This morning we went towards Mosman and walked around Georges Heights, Chowder Bay and Clifton Gardens. We could see the city, Watson's Bay and glimpses of the Manly area on our walk. It was glorious!
At the top of Rawson Park, we came across a Scotland Australia Cairn. It was erected in 1988 to celebrate the landing of Captain Aurthur Phillip in Australia 1788. In Scotland cairns are built to commemorate great events or as a memorial. This particular cairn is made of 1750 stones and each stone comes from a different parish in Scotland. Some of the stones are engraved with their origin. Also, on top of the cairn is a stone from the hillside of Ulva, birthplace of Lachlan Macquarie, the 5th governor of Australia.
