When I first saw Bondi Beach I was disappointed - Coogee, Bronte, Maruba etc are all better but less famous. Best beach I've visited so far was 7 mile beach at Port Douglas in Queensland - perfect water, sand and sky - heaven (and only about 6 other people on the whole beach!! The photo of Manly looks like Brighton on a bank holiday - not what I want.) Still to visit 90 mile beach in Victoria. |
Originally posted by bondipom I often wonder what people are expecting from a beach 20 mins drive from the CBD? Good point, suppose we aare getting a bit pickey wanting the whole beach. I use to work in central London and lunches were often spent walking along the Thames - when the tide is out there are a few small beaches near Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges. A quick search on google shows that enen these will attrack large crowds.............. http://www.urban75.org/london/beach.html Long live the Aussie beach |

palm beach at rockingham, just down a ways from the busy beach at the foreshore.
Hope this works! love sophia x |
Another vote here for Mission Beach in Northern Queensland, totally uncrowded and backed by tropical rainforest.
Also highly recommended: Cable Beach – Broome – Western Australia Eighty Mile Beach – Near Broome – Western Australia Margaret River – Western Australia |
On Sydney Harbour there are a few nice beaches. Nielsen Park and Balmoral are 2 worth seeking out. They are flat and have very visible shark nets.

OK, since you'se are all me lit'l pet Poms I'll let you in on a lit'l secret:
Doing The Harbour Walk Of the lot the Little Queens Avenue beach off Vaucluse Road is the nicest. Nice overhanging fig trees for shade and city views. Perfect for a Lebo picnic and a deep ponder. |
Question for Bondi and other Sydneysiders
We have some friends maybe coming out for a holiday to Perth end of this year, they did the east coast last year and Bondi was their favourite place. I am a bit worried that Perth will seem really dull an empty to them. What is the attraction of Bondi (never been & don't know much about it - apart from lots of folk seem to love it). They are the sort of people who like weekends in NY etc. Mind you they have a baby in tow this year so Perth may offer a bit of respite. Thanks DI |

I have never been to Perth so I cannot comment on a comparison. |
Hmm - obviously the buzz of it all that's the attraction for them. Can't say any of Perths beaches are buzzing, suppose Scarborough could manage a little zzz. Oh well, I did tell them it was different from the east coast. Thanks for that though.
