THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE: AN ADVENTURE IN BONDI BEACH, AUSTRALIA
This post is part of an ongoing “EPIC (VIRTUAL) AUSTRALIAN ROAD TRIP” from estCA staff, Lindsay Vacek. Make sure to check back often to read and discover all she has to share.
I know it’s been a little bit since we started on this (virtual) Australian Road Trip. We took a pause because we have some really big things happening here at the offices of Established California. We can’t talk about it just yet but it’ll make sense REAL soon.
In the meantime, we are ready to start sharing some more of our Australia adventures with you again - and our next stop: BONDI BEACH.
I remember the first time I heard the term: The Golden Triangle. The three cities where you find laid-back, beach-y, creative vibes. Where good food, style and sunshine all reside. It doesn’t surprise me that I now spend my life between the three: Venice Beach, California + Bondi Beach and Byron Bay, Australia (Well, just Byron for now but post-COVID - I will be back to in my California hometown to hug all the people I love)
When I first got to Bondi Beach, I understood why the Sydney suburb was so popular. Being able to hang on the beach all day and have sunset cocktails on a hip rooftop at night, it made me feel right at home. With endless options of things to do, the city girl in me couldn’t wait to explore.
Here are some of my favorite recommendations for things to do if you ever find yourself in Sydney.
Wake up early and head directly to the Sydney Opera House and avoid the crowds. Or come in the evening for live music and champagne at the Opera Bar. Or do both! The world’s your oyster (which are also very good here!)
Bondi Icebergs Pool: I know, i know.. it’s so cliche. But really, you have to go and see this iconic place for yourself. And make sure to enjoy an aperol spritzer on the balcony for me.
While you are in Bondi, grab a coffee or tonic from Orchard St. and peruse the cool collection of crystals and books.
Take the ferry from Circular Quay (which is where Sydney Opera House is too) over to Manly Beach. This hip little suburb reminds me so much of Catalina Island. Definitely worth spending an afternoon.
Rent a bike or scooter and cycle through Centennial Park.
Watch the Sunset from Watson’s Bay. which is just a short drive outside the city and offers a great view of the harbor.
