Around the corner from Watsons Bay. You'll have to look up directions to find it. it's the most European scene of all our beaches. Look back from near the end of Sydney's eastern headland all the way to the Harbour Bridge.

Inside the Opera House. Get there by direct ferry from Rose Bay Wharf to Circular Quay. Its right inside the Opera House with breathtaking views framed by the "sails" of the Opera House over the harbour. Great menu of interesting bar nibbles. It's not cheap but not really more expensive than any other bar around Sydney's stunning waterfront (prime real estate). I only started going recently and just loved it. It's not really a secret spot but maybe not something you'd think of

Arts & Culture
There is a reasonable section on Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Art. The main galleries also reveal how Europersn settlers adapted from painting "romantic" European-style landscapes to learning to reflect the colour and light and nature of Australia quite differently. The ticketed exhibitions can be good. The cafe is great but often busy. The restaurant is part of the Chiswick family - excellent food, but pricey. Set in the beautiful Botanic Gardens

Easy bus trip from the bus stop on New South Head Road. Great with kids. Great on a rainy day! Not exactly a world renowned Museum (depending on where you come from and your point of view). The local content could be improved. However, its a beautiful old snadstone building and the dinosaurs are sure to please.
