I travelled from Circular Quay to Watsons Bay which is the name of the stop. From there head left along the waterside then up then left again, we came across a beach which we walked past to get to South Head, there is probably an easier way - not signposted, but you should find your way or ask the boat crew, they're pretty good with giving directions. Hornby lighthouse, lightkeepers house, gunpoints, lookouts, birds are the main things there, shouldn't take more than a few hours. I'd recommend putting the toddler in a pram, there is a few steps but otherwise it's relatively easy.
