This walk will start at Rose Bay ferry terminal.  After a pleasant harbour cruise, we will stroll through Rose Bay Village before reaching the Hermitage Foreshore Walk.  Our aim is to wander in and around some of the historic buildings in the area – Strickland House, Greycliffe House and stopping for a tea break on Mt Trefle.  Next over to Vaucluse House to wander the grounds there.  After a bit of road walking, we will head down through Parsley Bay and finally make our way to Watson’s Bay to Hornby Lighthouse and finally finish with optional fish and chips in the park.  This will be a leisurely walk, mostly pavement so hiking gear is not essential.  Catch the ferry or bus back from Watson Bay.
