Bondi Beach


Hey Everyone!

After all the nightlife posts, it's only fitting that we share some of the amazing Sydney experiences fit for daytime! Let's start with Bondi Beach. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, it's time to come out from under that rock and experience one of Sydney's most famous destinations!


Home to the iconic surf club 'Icebergs', Bondi Beach is just 8km from the city centre, with a quick 30-minute bus from Town Hall. With amazing waves from morning to night and the calm swimming pools, it will quickly become one of your favourite summer destinations. But what if you’re not a surfie? Don’t worry there is still plenty to do:
§  Visit the Sculptures by the Sea: a public exhibition held since 1997, found on the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk
§  Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk: about a 2-hour walk, 6km of beautiful views and beaches (and of course a few cafés)
§  The Bondi Farmer’s Market: fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables sold at Bondi Beach Public School every Saturday
§  Dine at Bondi’s Finest: Icebergs dining room and bar and Bondi Road Seafood’s are amongst some of the most popular



Don’t worry, you don’t have to leave this amazing place once the sun goes down and the surfer’s leave the water, the nightlife still sparkles in Bondi. Many bars, nightclubs, and pubs have live music so you can dance into the night. Some of the most famous include (visit the links for more info):

§  The SpeakeasyBar: 83 Curlewis Street
§  Bondi Hardware: 39 Hall Street
§  The Anchor: 8 Campbell Parade

Well, that’s all from me for now! I hope this post inspires you to experience the wonders of Bondi Beach!

Until next time,
Jessica

What Sydney Means to Me

Image
Throughout our last few posts, we've discussed what to see and do, but not necessarily a personal connection. Sydney is a global city, who has developed and moved into the future alongside those who both live here and visit. Sydney's culture is broad, both traditionally Australian and able to connect on a broader, global scale. From nights out, to looking for something special for a close friend or current romantic interest; to attending concerts and other events. Sydney has been an integral part of my personal life, and I'm very happy to have posted about a few things to see and do when visiting. It's impossible to cover everything, so my most succinct Sydney Advice is this: see it for yourself, wander around, experience it without just referring to tips, or lists. Obviously, these help sharpen direction and offer a launching point, but don't use them exclusively. Photo by Blake Sydney is an adventure, but also something relatable and familiar. Don't be

Macquarie Centre - Event Cinemas

Macquarie Centre is one of Sydney's, and the countries largest shopping centre. It serves as a major hub, as it serves the shopping and transport needs for the North Sydney. The introduction of the Sydney Metro will only strengthen its importance within the Northern Sydney region. URL Macquarie Centre contains 275 stores, all arranged in a twisting, maze-like staircase. There are a vast array of stores, ranging from international department stores, to small food shops. The centre also contains a range of activities, including one of the few ice skating rinks in Sydney, and a cinema. Event Cinema's is found near the vast array of restaurants that you see upon entry. The cinema contains a large snack bar, and a gold class lounge, where people can have a few drinks prior to their movie. I watched Avengers: Endgame in one of the many showings they have daily for it. The seats were comfortable, however they didn't compare to the higher quality reclining seats found at

Manly Beach

Hey everyone! So, last week I introduced you to the iconic 'Bondi Beach', but this week I'll open your eyes to another Sydney icon: Manly Beach! https://makeagif.com/gif/a-little-bit-of-sunday-at-manly-beach-XgyKno Manly beach is amongst the Northern Beaches of Sydney and was home to the world's FIRST surfing competitions in 1964. So how can you get to this lovely place? It's as easy as hopping on a ferry from Circular Quay which will drop you to the Manly ferry dock in about 30 minutes! Whether you're there for the water or for the view there is plenty to do! Here are a few of my top suggestions (click on the link for more details: 1. Walk the Manly to Spit Walk : 10km scenic coastal walk that should take around 3-4 hours to complete the track. 2. Learn to Surf : I recommend top rated Sydney Surf School for individual or group lessons (all ages). 3. Climb the Grotto Point Lighthouse : Located on a headland near Dobroyd Head you'll find the &#
