Think of Australia and Bondi automatically springs to mind. The beach is perhaps Sydney's most famous suburb. The surf, sun and sand are Aussie icons, and Bondi combines this with delicious restaurants and cafes, trendy shops and boutiques and spectacular city views - making it a most desirable place for locals and tourists alike.

Bondi beach is roughly a kilometre long and is the classic example of Sydney's beach culture with lifesavers, boogie boards, beach volley ball and sun worshippers on the sand, and joggers, power walkers and roller bladers showing off the best bodies in town on the promenade.

Bondi is an entertainment hub, popular for its eclectic array of events, anything form art, sport, music and unusual displays. The weekends are filled with a constant buzz of excitement. Never a dull moment in this truly unique sea-side suburb, home to many famous Australian's.
