Christmas Day in Sydney
Our first Australian Christmas and still undecided what to do. No kids to worry about so the world is our oyster.
Any good beach parties happening on Christmas Day?

Re: Christmas Day in Sydney
You've just got to hope this horrendous weather doesn't hang around- it's so unseasonally cold right now in Sydney it feels like it's about to snow!
The beaches normally have Xmas parties organised, but perhaps you should book a table for lunch somewhere indoors

Just be aware that many of the beaches have a very strict no alcohol policy on Christmas Day. Bondi especially is fenced off and you have to pass your bags and stuff through security guards for checking before they will let you on the beach.

Go somewhere like Neilsen Park and have a picnic there. I don't think there's any problem with alcohol. The kiosk may sell it too?

Re: Christmas Day in Sydney
From what I can remeber the party at Bondi isn't actually on the beach. I think tickets on the day were about $80 (this is back in 2008). We couldn't afford it back then so we just had fish and chips and sat on the beach.
Can't say I'd bother again but it has to be done once I think.
