Take the walk between Horeshoe Bay and Rose Bay, via Murray Bay. This beautiful spot has a dormant resort that may some day be re-opened but this walk would have to be one of the best Australia has to offer! Take plenty of water :-)

Sightseeing
This is an asian restaurant - the owner has got the personality of a fence. The food is average - but the VIEW is AMAZING!! Get a table on the balcony early and have some wine or drinks with a few entrees and enjoy the beauty surrounding you. Go somewhere else for the mains if you are seeking Ala Carte.
