Coogee Beach Sydney

G'day!

We arrived in Oz early (very early) on Saturday morning after our night-time flight from Bangkok. Amazingly, the backpacks followed close behind having been in transit since check-in at Siem Reap airport the previous morning. The journey was a pretty smooth one (apart from a grumpy woman at the bureau de change), having decided …

Highlights of Sydney for me.

Coogee beach. Beautiful beach with lovely surroundings. A ten minute walk from our room.
Very empty in the morning and began to fill later in the day. We lay in golden sand and enjoyed some sun.

Mission to Bondi. Caught a few buses, took us a few days to master the system but we got there in the …

Hi there

Up at 6:00am again. I had this great idea to do this beach walk I heard about. I figured if the girl who was pregnant with twins could do it so could we. Well let me tell you that girl was in shape. It is a 6.18 km. walk from one beach to the next, mostly up hill (both ways), with an astronomical amount of steps, not nice wide …

We have arrived!! We are finally now travelling after months and months of waiting and so far it has been an amazing but hectic first couple of days.

So we landed at about 10:30pm and headed out to Darling Harbour and the Rocks to take in the city on what ended up being a 2 hour walk. Not a great first night's sleep - Ben the seasoned …

Aujourd'hui nous nous sommes réveillés vers 6h30. Nous étions dans notre chambre d'hôtel pendant environ 2 heures. On a decide d'aller à la célèbre plage de Bondi par autobus. Il a fallu environ 25 minutes pour se rendre à Bondi Beach. Quand nous sommes arrivés, nous avons marché une partie de l'immense plage, et nous avont décidé d'aller nager …

When I was in Sydney in 2004 and 2005, I visited many tourist attractions around the city. The most memorable tourist attraction of Sydney to me was Manly, where I visited with Jenny. I didn't swim at the time, but we strolled along the beautiful coast and she showed me her dance on the beach. It was much fan. This time, I felt like trying another …

Sydney is a huge city and we were lucky enough to live in the CBD, where all the attractions are in the walking distance. We spent 8 months there for work and absolutely loved it.
There are numerous beaches, harbors and things to see but it is quite expensive, so to enjoy it allow sufficient funds. Just outside Sydney lie the infamous Blue …

The Hostel hosted a free Cogee beach day today.This beach was beautiful, there were cliffs on both sides at which at the bottom were huge rocks. Learned how to play cricket on the beach, I never realized how similar it was too baseball. They added a twist to the game: every time that you made it to a base you had to slide into the base on your …

The time has come to write another blog, and it will be the last one of 2011! It is New Year's Eve as I sit and write this (in my sister's apartment in Sydney), contemplating the year we have had and the most incredible adventures we have experienced. I decided to work out some statistics from our travels, because who doesn't love useless stats?! …

After that much needed sleep we awoke to some beautiful blue skies and took the bus down to Coogee (Coo-Jee) for the Beach Walk. 6 kilometers from Coogee to Bondi along some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. Beaches and more beaches, cliffs, palms, a stunning old cemetery and crashing winter waves. I keep finding that it is very …

... but other beaches are a lot nicer. Manly beach, is not as touristy and so is a good change. I have heard good things about Coogee Beach, but have yet to go. All of the harbours around Sydney are cool to just walk around, littered with shops and people ...

... - the weather was rubbish but we decided to go to the beach anyway. It was too cold to sunbathe so we walked from Coogee beach to Bondi Beach - a 6km walk. We thought this was a bit too energetic for Xmas day so after that we came home and had a party ...
