Sydney Harbour Sail

Hola my awesome Sydney Siders

According to my weather app (let's all have our fingers crossed for its reliability) this week is going to be a majority sunshine filled week, hitting to 34 degrees this coming weekend and what better way to enjoy this Sydney weather than to be outdoors basking in the sun's glory? 

AHOY MATEYS! 

Imagine laying down in the sunshine, a breeze whipping through your hair, sipping on a mango smoothie - that's a dream right? 
Now let's take that up another level & envision yourself on a boat - even a better 

A SHIP! - SAILING! - ON SYDNEY HARBOUR! 

If you've never even considered doing this, I suggest you do. The experience viewing the Sydney Harbour from a boat is something else. It's an escape like no other and makes you really appreciate both the natural and architectural beauty the city has to offer.

North Sydney Olympic Pool

North Sydney Olympic Pool – Swim Amongst the Giants

Hey Sydney Siders! What an awesome Friday afternoon!

Nestled right under the harbour bridge lies an aquatic centre that is sure to make you feel small again. Located in North Sydney just a few minutes walk from Milsons Point train station and bordering the famous Luna Park, North Sydney Pool has sweeping views of the harbour with the Sydney CBD in the background.


The centre boasts an outdoor 50m Olympic sized swimming pool and an indoor 25m pool for those who want to be sheltered from the elements. The views of the bridge and the harbour are both visible in each pool, perfect motivation to swim laps or relax and enjoy the scenery. For an additional cost you can access spa/sauna facilities, showers and the gym.


I was able to enjoy the 50m pool, the main attraction. The facility was clean and well appointed with lap signs for lap speed. The water used in the pool seemed to be collected from the harbour itself and thus a strong taste of salt is apparent, in addition to chlorine, making it a slightly different experience to your usual aquatic centre in Sydney, nevertheless it was still an enjoyable experience.

Stay tuned Sydney Siders! :)

BONDI

HELLO SYDNEY SIDERS!


If you are coming to Sydney you can't miss a visit to Bondi Beach! Only about 30 minutes by public transport from the city centre.

Bondi Beach is one of Australia's most famous beaches and is well-known worldwide. 

Each year tens of thousands of people, from backpackers to billionaires, take to the golden sands of this wide, one-kilometre long beach to walk, jog, or just soak up the sun. Being only 10 kilometres from the city centre, Bondi Beach is one of Sydney's busiest beaches. 

To discover more stunning beaches close by, you can take the trail to Tamarama, Bronte and Coogee via the scenic coastal walk from Bondi Beach. From the cliffs on the Bondi to Coogee Walk you can see the entire expanse of Bondi Beach. 

Busy Buzzing BONDI

Each spring, the Bondi to Tamarama Beach section of the walk is transformed by the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition with works by local artists.

Manly & Shelly BEACHES

Good evening Sydney Siders!

MANLY IS THE PLACE TO BE!

Situated among the Northern Beaches of Sydney & only a 15min ferry trip from Sydney's CBD...

Enjoy the salty sea breeze, go for a swim or surf, make a sandcastle, check out the (hot) volleyball players, browse the shops at the Corso or the unique stalls at the market on weekends. 

Take your iPod + earphones and go to Manly for a MEMORABLE early morning by the beach! 

Enjoy a walk or cycle down the boardwalk while you take in a beautiful sunrise. 

Head over to Shelly Beach, only a 10 minute walk to the right of Manly if you're facing the beach. Open from 7am, The Boathouse at Shelly Beach is the IDEAL location for a perfect breakfast, serene surroundings and chillax vibes.

Tip: there are NO reservations, so be sure to grab a seat nice and early before the crowds pour through! Otherwise be prepared to wait around until you can nab whatever table becomes available.

PS: if you feel like going for an extended walk in the bush, there's a fabulous scenic track going into the North Head National Park from the Shelly Beach car park.

Stay tuned for further posts!- Teodora xx
