Green Point Reserve

While crowds of tourists queue up for photographs at the The Gap, South Head and Watsons Bay lookouts, there is plenty of space to spread out a picnic blanket at Green Point Reserve. Tucked away at the back of a dead-end street next to the equally-secluded Camp Cove, this grassy cliff-top has sweeping 180-degree views of Oz's own Emerald City. Watching the fiery red glow reflect off the water as the sun sinks behind the mountains is as romantic as it gets.
