Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in City of Parramatta Council

"Next to the Opera house, Royal Botanic Garden is sparsely close and convenient. The scintillating view of the flowers, birds, statues, ponds and lots more are something to feature in your social media profile pictures. Explore and take shots, plus enjoy the sanctuary nature in the heart of the city!"

"I recommend joining an Aboriginal Heritage Walk to learn about the Cadigal people who were the original owners of this area. (every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 10am to 11.30am). Alternatively you could join a free guided tour to learn more about the plants at the Gardens."

"Sydney's second most famous beach is a magnificent strand that stretches for nearly two golden kilometres, lined by Norfolk Island pines and midrise apartment blocks. The southern end of the beach, nearest the Corso, is known as South Steyne, with North Steyne in the centre and Queenscliff at the northern end; each has its own surf lifesaving club."

"Located on the Northern Beaches, Manly Beach is a family-friendly destination. To reach this beach, take a short 30-minute ride across Sydney’s famous harbour on the Manly Ferry. Manly is a must visit Sydney destination offering waterfront restaurants, attractions, adventure and entertainment for young and old."

"Carry on and you will hit the popular Manly beach. It’s a great beach for surfing and usually less crowded than Bondi. Wander around to the Cabbage Tree Bay Eco-Walk which has lots of cute sculptures along it representing the vast marine life and plants in the area."

"Hidden in the bustling precinct of Darling Harbour is the Chinese Friendship Gardens, a gift to Sydney from Sydney’s Chinese sister city, Guangzhou in China. It has the strange ability to transport you away from Sydney to a tranquil spot that the kids will love exploring. Make certain you head to the traditional dress shop where, for a small fee, you and the kids can choose an outfit to wear to explore the grounds."

"The serenity of the Chinese Garden of Friendship will have you feeling as though you’re a million miles away, not at Darling Harbour in the heart of Sydney!. The traditional landscapes have been designed by Chinese landscape architects to achieve a balance of Yin and Yang, and feature waterfalls, mountains, lakes and forests. What activities are there at the Chinese Garden of Friendship?"

"Just 11 kilometres from the heart of Sydney, Lane Cove National Park comprises more than a thousand acres of bushland. The park was created between the two World Wars to offer respite from the encroaching western suburbs of Sydney. By constructing a weir on the lower Lane Cover River, park developers drowned the valley upriver – making its waters safe for recreational use.The park offers a wide array of facilities and activities...."

"This lovely park, surrounded by North Shore suburbia, flanks the Lane Cove River, which spills into the harbour. It's a great place to stretch out on some middle-sized bushwalks and is on the Great North Walk... Historic Building in Sydney Harbourside"

"Lane Cove National Park is a beautiful pocket of bushland that sits on either side of the peaceful Lane Cove River."

"A cultural hot spot in Sydney’s diverse dining scene, East Phoenix Chinese restaurant on Defries Avenue delivers a passion for fine fare. Step into this Zetland venue and be warmed by the fireplace, w..."

"Went To See The Gypsy | Alexandria, 76 Mitchell Rd, Alexandria NSW 2015. 11 minutes from Club Wyndham Sydney. An offshoot of Potts Point staple Gypsy Espresso, Went to See the Gypsy has a name inspired by Bob Dylan’s 1970 song and cuisine that matches: café classics, reinvented and redelivered."

"Booked for Valentine's Day, it was a great deal at $85 per person. The food was excellent. The accompanying matching wine offer was at $60 per person seemed too steep."
