A short ferry ride from the city , this World Heritage listed island has a rich history of colonial and industrial history. You can even stay on the island overnight.

Nice place to escape the busy city and enjoy a drink and a walk

Dion Dicello

Great place has vending machines but are expensive $4 for cans near the entrance but has $4 600ML powerade which is good but there's another machine with $3 cans annoying but nothing I can do

It's so beautiful here, you feel like you're miles from the city , and the Ship Shape Challenge keeps the kids active .

Avoiding going near the roosting seagulls, they get pissed off if you get too close!

Bondi Beach

Great surfing spot for beginners, although I would recommend Manly Beach and its regular waves. Gets crowded in summer but is definitely a place to be 30mn from the City. Bondi to Coogee is a must do - Hugo Fauquenoi
