Top 25 Things To Do In Sydney

22 Walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach

The walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach is another classic. Walk from Bondi to Coogee Beach and be greeted by fantastic views, beautiful beaches, cliffs and even an old cemetery (Waverley) with unimpeded views out to sea. Tamarama (Glamarama so they say), one of the places you will come across, has a café very close to the beach and is a good spot to rest along the way. Allow three to four hours and take your time. Note the lack of fences between Bondi and Coogee Beaches so please keep a close reign on the kiddies.

23 Sexy Coogee Beach

Visit Coogee Beach - the backpacker capital of the world!! Well sometimes Coogee feels like it. Apart from beach itself, Coogee has great views and walks to either Bronte/Bondi or Maroubra.

For a view whilst munching head for the southern end of Coogee Beach for breakfast and lunch. Be prepared to wait for a table if you arrive after 10am at weekends.

On the north side of Coogee Beach you’ll find the Beach Palace Hotel. If you can still do it without paying, climb to the top bar of the Beach Palace Hotel, get a cold drink and sit yourself down on the veranda and enjoy the view out to sea and across Coogee Beach. Ah..the way life is meant to be - no worries.

For music fans the Coogee Bay and Beach Palace Hotels cater for you with all kinds provided it's loud and usually involves jumping around a lot. For the brave there's a kebab shop directly opposite the Coogee Bay Hotel open till very late.

25 Hunter Valley

As though Sydney isn't blessed enough we have the beautiful Hunter Valley Wineries just two and half hours north of Sydney. Advisable to overnight, get someone else to drive or join a Hunter Valley tour. Beautiful scenery, lovely hospitality and the wine's not bad either. Visit the smaller Hunter Valley wineries for more personal service and unique wines. Some, if not most, of the wines sold by the larger concerns in the Hunter Valley are retailed in Sydney at below cellar door prices.

Grab a Hunter Valley Tour

I’m not all that keen on tours either but visiting the Hunter Valley might be the time you make an exception unless you do have a nominated/tea total driver.
