A Jog To Mrs Macquarie's Chair
Stretch those pins with a jog around quintessential Sydney.
Overview
Come lunch — or straight after work — get away from your sitting habit with a run around the Sydney Opera House and Mrs Macquarie's Chair. This is, quite possibly, one of the most scenic city running routes on the planet. To conquer the entire thing, start under the Harbour Bridge (on the southern side), pass along Circular Quay, dash across the Opera House forecourt and spring into the Royal Botanic Gardens to follow the foreshore to Mrs Macquarie's Chair. This isn't a chair, exactly, but a bench carved from sandstone — the handiwork of convicts in 1810 — to provide Governor Lachlan Macquarie's wife, Elizabeth, with an outdoor seat overlooking the water.
