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.

Bondi Beach

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

In this very first episode of The Sydney Visitor, I discuss that famous tourist icon, Sydney Harbour. We talk about the four best ways to experience the harbour. Probably the easiest way to explore Sydney Harbour is by walking around it. The map below shows some of the areas you can walk around Sydney Harbour.

In this episode, we also discuss some of the tips and tricks for drinking beer in Sydney. Whose “shout” is it, and what does that mean anyway. Beer drinking is a big pastime in Sydney, so make sure you’re aware of the etiquette.

Hope you enjoy the first episode of The Sydney Visitor.
