Stroll southeast from Finger Wharf and you’ll eventually hit Garden Island. Despite its name, it’s actually attached to the mainland and has been a major naval base since the 1780s. Access is restricted by foot to civilians for obvious reasons, but it’s possible to catch a ferry from Circular Quay on the west side of the Royal Botanic Garden straight to the public Garden Island Wharf. Once there, you can swot up on your Aussie naval history at the small, but surprisingly informative RAN Heritage Centre and have a gander around the landmark’s leafy grounds. There’s even a fragrant rose garden, plus lawn tennis courts which are apparently some of the oldest in Oz. The highlight of Garden Island is the old Signal Station whose roof terrace boasts arguably the best views of Sydney after the iconic Harbour Bridge itself.

Watsons Bay ferry from Circular Quay - first stop. Nice little cafe; great views of harbour (walk up to the roof of the structure on top of the hill), naval museum. Only open weekdays.
