Bondi Beach, Australia is perhaps the most photographed and celebrated beach in the world. In this episode of The Sydney Visitor we look at that sights, sounds and attractions that can’t be missed on your trip to Bondi.
If you’re short on time, or just prefer the convenience, you can take it all in with a Discover Bondi Beach Sightseeing Tour.
The bondi icebergs started as a swimming club for devoted winter swimmers. From humble and eccentric beginnings, this club has grown to the largest licensed swimming club in the world. You can check out the views, the history and the menus at their website www.icebergs.com.au.
If you’re lucky enough to catch the “Sculpture by the Sea” exhibits, you’ll get a unique taste of the Sydney art and aculptural scene, as well as enjoying the natural beauty of the Bondi to Tamarama walk.We talk about the City to Surf Fun Run, and why this is a not-to-be-missed event for any visit to Sydney. Run details and entry forms (if you’re feeling keen) can be found here. The picture below shows the route taken every year.
The Bondi to Coogee walk is one of those lesser known parts of Sydney, where locals flock on a nice summer bay. We talk about the easiest and most enjoyable ways to experience the Bondi - Coogee walk. You can get a detailed map and description of the route here
We live in the UK ar coming out to Sydney in August. The podcast is concise, useful und un-stuffy - I’ve listened to them all and found them useful. Looking forward to getting out and about to put your suggestins into practice. We’re hoping that Winter will mean fewer crowds. Are open air/salt water pools open in Winter?. Is there any cycle specific info/tips that you have? We like a walk but cycling is more our thing.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Mark.
Gday Mark,
Thanks for your kind words - glad you’re enjoying the show.
August is definitely a better time to get here if you’re looking for lower crowds, although this year crowds might be a little higher than normal due to people remaining after World Youth Day in JUly.
There are plenty of places for bike riding in and around Sydney, it really depends what you’re looking for. I’ll talk about some of the options in the next episode of the podcast, released in a week or so.
There’s no shortage of swimming spots in the winter, sea pools are open all year round, and plenty of the other pools are open to those who wish to brave the elements.
