With its relaxed, outdoor lifestyle, Mianly is a great place to take some time out to wander along the golden sandy beaches that stretch from Queenscliff up to the North Steyne Beach to Manly Beach. You might also like to treat yourself to morning tea in one of the many cafés (own expense). Once back in the Quay area you will join a Magistic Cruise to enjoy all the sights of the city while savoring a fabulous buffet lunch. After lunch, visit of the Rocks, a lively and popular spot brimming with boutique stores, art galleries and world-class restaurants. From the Rocks you’ll get a stunning view of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, one of the largest steel arch bridges in the world. Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair sits high on the peninsula known as Mrs. Macquarie’s Point and is an exposed sandstone rock that was hand-carved into a bench by convicts in 1810. It is said that Mrs. Macquarie, the wife of the then New South Wales Governor, was known to visit the area to take in the views. Again, have your camera ready.
