Bondi to Coogee Walk

A cliff top coastal walk, the Bondi to Coogee walk extends for six km in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The walk features stunning views, beaches, parks, cliffs, bays and rock pools. The beaches and parks offer a place to rest, swim or a chance to eat at one of the cafes, hotels, restaurants or takeaways. All beaches offer picnic shelters, electric barbecues, play areas, kiosks, toilets and change-rooms. The walk is not difficult, there are medium gradient paths and several staircases with occasional seating. It takes about two hours to complete the Bondi to Coogee Beach section of the walk and another hour and a half if you choose to continue to Maroubra.

Taking in panoramic views of the coast from Bondi Beach south to Coogee this paved coastal walk is a spectacular way to spend a day out in Sydney. Stop along the way for a swim at different beaches and coves and see a hidden part of the Emerald City. After leaving Bondi beach the walk takes you past Aboriginal rock carvings that marked the boundaries and rights of different Aboriginal clans living in the area. Stop in at Tamarama Beach for a coffee or a quick game of volleyball before continuing on to Bronte Beach and Bronte Baths. From there the path takes you through Waverley Cemetery where you will find the burial plots, crypts and gravestones of some of Sydney's most notorious and colourful identities. The walk continues over the headland where you can stop for a bit of whale-spotting before wending its way through remnant coastal heathland to arrive at Lady McKenzie's baths, Clovelly and the more built-up beach suburb of Coogee. Once at your destination check out the McIver's Women's Baths or take your pick of the fabulous local cafes and restaurants for a well-deserved drink or casual lunch. If you are doing a round trip, you should allow 2.5 to 3 hours but if you only want to go one way, Coogee is well-serviced by buses back to Sydney or Bondi. Sadly the walk is not accessible the whole way, but wheelchairs and prams can do the Bondi to Bronte segment easily.

Wendy Whiteley's Secret Garden

Everyone needs a secret garden in their life and you’re invited to visit Wendy's, a public garden and much loved oasis in the heart of Sydney. Located a short walk over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or stroll from Milsons Point and North Sydney train stations, the Secret Garden is a haven where you can explore meandering pathways discovering sculptures; enjoy a picnic basket or read a book at one of the tables beneath the garden’s canopy; or simply enjoy the nature and serenity of your beautiful surrounds. You may even stumble across a fairy. Created over 20 years by artist Wendy Whiteley, wife and muse of Australian artist Brett Whiteley, the Secret Garden is nestled behind Luna Park in one of Sydney's most spectacular suburbs, Lavender Bay. While its free and open seven days a week, there are steep inclines and a range of steps. Visitors with limited mobility may only be able to access the uppermost sections of the garden but we're sure you'll enjoy your visit.

A quick one-stop ferry ride from Circular Quay to Milton’s Point with great views of the harbor and Opera House, then a walk thru Luna Park and along Lavender Bay. A somewhat wild garden, a beautiful place to wander a bit and then to sit and relax, enjoying the peacefulness of the garden.
