Bondi beach, I hope to see you again in 2026 ! At the time, I still do not know if/when I will be able to visit my family over there… (This article was written in December 2019….)

End of summer here in France… This is why I have decided to publish today an article about Down Under, about a lovely and mythical beach, hoping to receive the good summer vibes and all this vitamin D we need, all the way from Sydney. In the meantime, I would happily like to send you our French heavy showers and put an end to this drastic situation you encounter with over 3 months non stop fires now…

I had the chance to spend 2 Christmas celebrations in Sydney with my family…

Enjoy my article and pictures, and I wish you all a lovely Christmas.

Bondi is a really popular beach, and also the name of the surrounding suburb in Sydney. Bondi Beach is located 7 km east of the Sydney Central Business District, in the Eastern Suburbs.

How to get there? Parking there with a car is pretty expensive (just in front of the beach 8$ 1 hour minimum) and crowded, you will find it difficult to get a spot. My advise is to take the train from Sydney city centre and stop at Bondi Junction station, then get a bus from there (usually n. 333 or 379) to Bondi beach. Easy and cheap !

Sculpture by the sea

Every year end October-mid November (24/10-10/11 this year, 2019), you can enjoy a lovely stroll amongst the temporary sculptures; the event is called Sculpture by the sea and I highly recommend it (interesting, relaxing and free!). I just warn you this is not convenient if you have a child in a pram! Indeed there are quite a few stairs…

As for places to drink/eat, there is a wide choice, however I do not have one in particular to recommend you yet. You can always bring your picnic and eat on the grass area in front of the beach !

I am sending thoughts/kisses/hugs from far away to my family and friends in Australia. I am looking forward to seeing you soon again ! TAKE CARE
