Kirribilli and Milsons Point – 20 minutes walk from Falcon Lodge
Milsons Point is arguably best known as Sydney’s premier vantage point for the New Years Eve Fireworks display. From the Milsons Point foreshore, you can enjoy the fresh harbour air as you gaze directly across to the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and City CBD. Be sure to bring your camera! Iconic Luna Park is also in Milsons Point, be sure to have a peek or enjoy one of the rides. North Sydney Olympic Pool and Lane 9 Gym are on the harbour front and next to Luna Park.
Kirribilli is right next door to Milsons Point and is the home of Australia’s Prime Minister. It has a number of restaurants and cafes, including Garfish, Ricky’s, Coco Chocolate Café, Stir Crazy Thai, Chicken Shops and Bakeries.
If you want a quiet drink and great ambiance, visit The Botanist- a new small bar in Kirribilli, or for something more relaxed, the Kirribilli Hotel which has a trivia night on Wednesdays at 7pm.
