Discover the fascinating connection between these icons before strolling around Lavender Bay to Wendy’s Secret Garden, one of Sydney’s most beautiful “guerrilla gardens”. Discover Wendy’s inspiration behind the garden and its journey to becoming a protected community treasure. After a brief stop to enjoy the garden the group will makes its way up the garden’s enchanting shady paths to emerge at Clark Park, before strolling to historic Bradfield Park and concluding at Milsons Point Station.
