Carrara House - William Charles Wentworth gave this land to his daughter Thomasine as a wedding gift in 1844. She did nothing with the land and sold it to Charles Lowe ten years later who began building the magnificent home. Completed in 1858. Carrara House is part of the Strickland Estate. Owned by the NSW Government. The buildings are closed to the public - but the lands are open for people to have a stroll. Carrara opens several times a year for heritage tours. And the building can be booked for filming purposes or private functions. “This is one of the better known domestic works of the 19th century architect John Hilly, who also designed St Patrick's Catholic Church.” #vaucluse

I haven't been to the actual house. We had a family picnick on the greens. The view from the grounds is striking. There are some tables and benches and a passage to a little beach. The only small drawback is that you have to park you car in the street and then walk down the road. The walk is short though. The photos show the view.

Strickland House is an old colonial mansion built in the 1850s and first occupied by Sydney's second mayor. It is built on a hill and commands wonderful views over Sydney Harbour and even has a secluded beach beneath. Sadly, it's only open once a year to visitors which isn't correct and that policy needs to be changed.

You can't go in to the house except on special occasions, but the gardens are lovely and worth exploring. Especially nice is the hermitage foreshore walk, with its hidden coves and beaches. Absolutely essential exploring with wonderful views.

Stunning spot to relax or go for a walk. The walking distance isn’t massive although you’ll Be stopping regularly to take in the views!
