Bondi to Coogee
You certainly won’t be alone heading to Bondi Beach on a sunny day (or any day) in Sydney, but it’s worth braving the crowds to do the stunning Bondi to Coogee cliff walk. There is a walking path that runs all along the cliff line from iconic Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach, passing a range of pretty bays and beaches on the way.

First Aid Kit

Make sure you see your doctor before you go to receive any immunizations you may need, and bring malaria tablets along with you.

Hop-On/Hop-Off City Tour
More and more major cities have these handy hop-on/hop-off tours, and they’re the perfect way to get your bearings in a new city. The Sydney version has two arms, one that takes visitors in and around the city centre and all the historic sites, and another that is dedicated specifically to the city’s eastern suburbs such as Bondi, Vaucluse, Rose Bay and more. The two buses both fall under the same ticket, which lasts an entire 24 hours. This means you can get around to all the sights in one go, and then decide which ones are worth coming back to at your own leisure.
