Then, in Danks Street I'd call in to the Fratelli Fresh Italian produce warehouse, tel: (61-2) 9699 3161, collect a light picnic, and head to Beare Park in Elizabeth Bay.

Just across the park is Elizabeth Bay House, tel: (61-2) 9356 3022, a restored 19th century mansion that often has quirky exhibitions dealing with Sydney...
