Wendy Whiteley created this special spot, known locally as ‘Wendy's Secret Garden’, on an area of railway land below Clark Park. It is currently leased to North Sydney Council for public use. The garden sits above North Sydney car sidings, which are used to store rolling stock between the morning and evening peaks. Location Map
Wendy was awarded an OAM on Australia Day 2009
‘for service to the community through the establishment and maintenance
of a public garden at Lavender Bay, and as a supporter of the visual
arts’
Our walking group reached the garden
from Milsons Point Station via Alfred and Lavender Streets. After
visiting the garden, we followed the narrow strip of foreshore which
links Quibaree Park
to Luna Park and
the Harbour Bridge. Continuing the garden theme we crossed the bridge to
the Botanic
Gardens via the expressway pedestrian walkway above Circular Quay.

I knew of Wendy's Garden but didn't realise it was open to the public.
