  2. Don't confuse Bondi Junction and Bondi Beach. Getting to Bondi Junction is just one step on the way to the beach. It is about a 3km walk from one to the other, so you may want to consider your transport options.

  5. I love watching surfers in Bondi beach and the place is almost always crowded everyday. Its a great place to read a book or work on a tan and every once in a while, swim or surf in the water. I hope I can visit the beach again as I need some relaxation time.

  13. Looks relaxing. But you never can truly tell until you're there. Might be a good area to invest in property though. Still, the waves are pretty much enough to get your surf on.
