Bondi to Coogee

Bondi Beach in Sydney is one of the world's most famous beaches and is particularly well known as a sweet surf spot. Since it was winter and too cold to spend the day getting our surf on, we went for a hike instead, walking the 6K trek from Bondi to Coogee. Coogee (pronounced koo-jee) is another beach that's less famous but also nice.

Clearly we're not as hardcore as that guy.

The paved trail that goes along the coast and across cliffs is popular with locals and tourists alike. The waves crash hard against the rocks but the trail is just high enough to keep you from getting wet at best or swept out into the ocean at worst.


If you stray off the path a little, you can find some cool rock outcroppings with no guardrails.


This eastern coastal Sydney area is a popular spot to surf for people who aren't worried about smashing their skulls against rocks. This definitely wasn't a crowd of beginners.


We walked passed Waverley Cemetery, which looks like a heck of a final resting place if you ask us. Apparently some famous Aussies are buried there.


When we were almost to Coogee we were lucky enough to spy a wedding. If it's taking place in public, anyone is invited, right?


We got back to downtown Sydney and had a wonderful meal at a Japanese steakhouse. It was a fun evening of sushi, squid, lots of meat, and catching things the chef threw at us with our bowls. A fantastic final night in the Southern Hemisphere.
