I braved the wet weather to visit and explore Vaucluse House. Vaucluse House is a heritage-listed 19th-century Gothic Revival residence in Sydney’s eastern suburb of Vaucluse, originally built as a small stone cottage in 1803–05 and expanded over subsequent decades into a picturesque harbourside estate. It was the home of explorer, barrister and politician William Charles Wentworth and his family from 1827, and retains much of its original gardens, outbuildings and harbour frontage. It was a very impressive place full of treasures and I loved it. I then walked to Watson's Bay to get the ferry home and had a gorgeous swim along the way.
