Sirius Cove is where a collective of pre-eminent Australian artists, including Arthur Streeton and Tom Roberts, set up camp after leaving the famous Heidelberg School in Melbourne back in the 1890s. Painting en plein air, their light, delicate canvases capture the natural beauty of the area's bays and inlets--beauty that is as evident today as it was over a hundred years ago. Catch the ferry to Taronga Park Zoo's Athol Wharf and bring your sketchbook.
