Posted by Casey Floyd on January 3rd, 2018

Sydney is one of the most magnificent Australian cities. At first glance, you will fall for the adoring beaches, seafood, gorgeous harbors, and soothing climate with more than 300 days of sunshine. The vibrant beauty of the cities can be seen in the core and at the suburbs as well. There are many hidden beaches and gardens where you can explore and find solace. As amazing the day life looks from a distance, it is more astounding in living. But, being a Sydneysider have you toured the whole city? Probably there are places yet to be explored by you. So, here is the list of six most unusual and hidden places that will show you the different colors of Australia’s most beautiful city, Sydney.  


1.) The Wendy Whitley’s Secret Garden  
Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden is a public garden-cum-oasis, situated in the heart of the Sydney. The Secret Garden is settled behind Luna Park in one of Sydney's smallest suburbs, Lavender Bay. The place is very calm and blissful and here you can enjoy a picnic basket or read a novel while sitting at one of the benches beneath the garden’s canopy. Also, one can explore the winding pathways discovering sculptures; or can simply enjoy the serenity of the beautiful surrounds.


2.) Sunken Garden at Paddington
The garden is not that much known among the Sydneysiders because of its location. The Paddington Reservoir Garden is a sunken garden as it’s located within the derelict Western Chamber of the reservoir, which now lacks a roof, so you need to go below the street level. The garden is equipped with comfortable deckchairs and wire chairs placed all around that invite the visitors to sit and relax, while the noise from the street remains muted by the lower position of the garden.
 
3.) Graffitied lane of Chinatown
If you ever get a chance to walk through the Kimber lane, then you must sneak in the alleys of Chinatown. The pathways will definitely amaze you as they carry a very creative art decor. The Sydney’s artist Jason Wing has canvassed the paths as part of a revitalization of three laneways in Chinatown. His work incorporates Chinese and Aboriginal motifs that include “auspicious clouds” and “spirit figures” that symbolize ancestors. While walking through the lane, you will get a feeling of walking on a passage between heaven and earth. So, visit there to get the full effect.
 
4.) Carriageway Farmers Market
The weekend market is renowned for the wide range of seasonal produce including organic and bio-dynamic foods from farmers and artisan producers from all of New South Wales. The market has certain features such as its supplies come from the locals, it serves as a meeting place and builds the relationships. You can stop for a while and chat with the suppliers. Grab a cup of fresh coffee, sit in the sun with friends, feast your eyes on the abundance of colors and varieties of foods. Touch, taste, and smell all the glorious produce.
 
5.) Bare Island Fort
If you have some feelings for history, then Bare Island Fort alone can stun you with some of its importance in the past. It represents one of the most substantial and impressive fortifications built around Australasia (the oceanic realm of Australia). The construction of this fort at Botany Bay was started with an aim to reduce the odds of any attack from this side. Bare Island Fort has been an object of military pride, a place of shocking scandals and hidden secrets. In past few years, some of the great action movies have been filmed at this location like Mission Impossible II.
 
6.) Waverley Cemetery  
If you enjoy a detour coastal walk with your loved ones, then its time for you to wear comfortable shoes, carry a water bottle and slip-slop-slap. While exploring the Waverley Cemetery, one of the marvelous sights, you will be walking around the coastal site on a million-dollar boardwalk way out of cemetery boundaries. Here you will get a chance to inspect the richly decorated family tombs, graves, along with the most excellent work of the stonemason.
