Student report by Nadine D. – Coogee to Bondi Walk
Hiking in Sydney
Sydney is an incredibly beautiful city with many sights. Be it the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge or world famous beaches like Bondi. One of my favorite activities in Sydney is the walk from Coogee to Bondi. A perfect activity to do with friends or just to clear your head and get some exercise. I do this hike regularly during my time here and am amazed every time at how beautiful the Coastline is here.
Recommendations for the walk
With the ferry you can get from Manly quickly into the city center and from there take the bus to Coogee. All in all the trip there will take you about 1,5 hours (Yes, Sydney is a really big City).
I would recommend starting at Coogee and then walking to Bondi. This gives you the opportunity to finish the day off at Bondi and go to the nice stores or lovely cafes and restaurants there. The walk is about 6 km long and takes you close to 2 hours.
On the way are also very good opportunities to go swimming and cool off in the warm Australian summer. So be sure to pack swimming gear as well as comfortable shoes! If you are a sporty person, the trail is also good for running, but be aware that it is very mountainous and there will be a lot of stairs.
If you want to do the walk on the weekend, it is best to go in the morning as there are the Bondi Markets which you should definitely visit. Not only have the markets the best location right on the beach but you can also find everything from jewelry to clothes or decorative items there.
So, what are you waiting for? Pack your stuff and let us do a day trip to Bondi!
