» Special occasion restaurants For proposals, zero-ending birthdays or that one extra-
vagant night out per year, restaurants such as Quay ( CLICK HERE ), Guillaume at Bennelong
( CLICK HERE ) and Aria ( CLICK HERE ) are popular.
» Parks You're liable to see locals taking romantic strolls, letting the kids off the leash or
shaking out a picnic blanket in the Royal Botanic Gardens ( CLICK HERE ) or Observatory
