Sydneysiders Why? 🛥: Sydney

Why Sydneysiders love their city so much? This article explains all.

Bondi is undeniable one of the best destinations for its beautiful coastline and waves. It is also home to saltwater sea baths, which were upgraded in 2019. The beach has surfers at either end, making it a great place for learners.

There is a grassy spot with coin-operated barbecues at the north end of the beach. Changing rooms and lockers can be found at Bondi Pavilion. Another highlight of Bondi, is that LGBTQIA+ community can enjoy their activities safe and sound here. The North Bondi Surf Club, near an outdoor workout are, is one of the main hangouts for queer beach-going Sydneysiders.


5. Watsons Bay

This photo was taken at the Watsons Bay’s lighthouse, in Sydney Australia.
We took the ferry at the end of the day and then walk 20 minutes to get there. We were almost running to not miss the sunset.
To get the best shot I had to go at the edge of the cliff and some people yelled at me saying it was dangerous.
I used a tripod and a filter to do a long exposure shot because it was still very luminous.

Lovely Watsons Bay is a preferct destination for the Sydney visitor that looking for a day trip by ferry. The village was once a small fishing village, as evidenced by the heritage cottages that pepper the suburb’s narrow streets.

South Head can be explored by foot, and visitors can take a dip at Camp Cove or enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the village's popular restaurants. The Gap is a dramatic clifftop lookout worth a visit.

Visitors can wander around the outside of the building and take a one-hour guided tour (available in several languages), with optional food. The best way to experience the interior of the Sydney Opera House is to attend a performance.

Sydneysiders love their giant 'coathanger', which opened in 1932. The best way to experience this majestic structure is on foot. Stairs and lifts ascend the bridge from both shores, leading to a footpath on the eastern side (the western side is a bike path).

Getting the train to Milsons Point and walking back towards the city offers the more spectacular views. Climb the southeastern pylon to the Pylon Lookout or tackle the arc on the popular if expensive, once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience, the BridgeClimb.


A city without nightlife, can't be labeled as a city.

After a day at the beach, they may take a disco nap, hit the showers, and head out again. There's always a new restaurant to try, undercover bar to hunt down, hip band to check out, sports team to shout at, show to see or crazy party to attend.

The city's pretensions to glamour are well balanced by a casualness that means a cool T-shirt and a tidy pair of jeans will get you in most places. But if you want to dress up and show off, there's plenty of opportunity for that among the sparkling harbour lights.
