Woolly Woolly
February 26, 2010 by Sheila Whittaker
In the mood for a stroll? Late lunch with a glass of wine? A smidge of shopping? Victorian heritage houses and tree-lined streets? Look no further than Woollahra, just five kilometres east of Sydney’s central business district.
We discovered jewellery, fashion, shoes galore, antiques, boutiques, galleries, cafes, delis and charming garden terraces set back from the streets offering afternoon refreshment in this affluent neighbourhood.
We decided on Zigolini’s, a cafe claiming to be “simply a place of fine food,” at 107 Queen Street. It served a late lunch at reasonable prices (keeping Dad happy), some air conditioning and water colour paintings (keeping Mom happy), and had a fair wine list (keeping me happy).
After a savory lamb panini (Mom), some chicken pasta (Dad), and a grilled asparagus, tomato and artichoke salad (me), we were refueled and ready to explore the shops and side streets.
It was the perfect day for a city stroll, so we continued to walk along Oxford Street through Paddington and finally back to my sister’s place in Darlinghurst.
