Botany Tamarama Maroubra Harbour

Traditionally the route is riden anti-clockwise, initially heading south to Botany and La Perouse before heading north through Maroubra, Bronte, Bondi and Watsons Bay. I throw in a few laps of Centennial Park at the end too to bump up the mileage a little.

With 4 laps of Centennial Park at the end, total distance is 80km with a ride time of around 3 hours.

Sydney recent hosted the Vivid Festival curated by Brian Eno. I think the Opera House makes a pretty good canvas.
