This public garden by Brett Whiteley's old house is one of Sydney's hidden treasures. I've always wandered past without venturing in and it was only recently I ventured in and was amazed at how big and stunning it was. The garden is beautifully cared for and has a very magical feel as you wander along the various paths. There are a number of tables scattered throughout the garden, making it a great location to bring a packed lunch and enjoy a picnic with friends.
