Bondi Beach and Beyond private tour

Voici le point de départ

Bondi Beach

• Enjoy the vibrancy of Australia's most famous beach when we stroll along the boardwalk.
• Bondi lads working on their physique at an outdoor gym will first be seen and in the middle of the beach is the Bondi Pavillion.
• The recently restored pavillion provides a wonderful open sense of space with breezy courtyards, a redesigned light filled atrium, and widespread use of locally occurring coastal plants.
• The many arches remain and the continued use of terracotta tiles is consistent with the Mediterranean style of the pavillion.
• As we head further south along the promenade it is hard not to be impressed with street and contemporary art murals located on the sea wall.
• At the southern end of the beach we ascend the stairs and meet at the top deck. Time now to have a look at another local icon, the Bondi Icebergs.
• The popular icebergs pool is a 50 metre salt water pool that was constructed in 1929 to assist with the fitness of local lifesavers.

Tamarama Beach

Our second beach stop is the small but beautiful Tamarama Beach. Whilst there we will walk along the coastal path which also provides great views of Bronte Beach.

Gap Park

Rugged cliffs and ocean views await us at this scenic spot just near the entrance to Sydney Harbour.

Paddington Reservoir Gardens

Charming and quaint terrace houses, boutique shops, an underground reservoir and a Wollemi Pine are just some of the sites in Paddington.

Pylon Lookout at Sydney Harbour Bridge

• The Sydney Harbour Pylon is an excellent place from which to appreciate the magnificence of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. A ten minute film runs outlining various aspects of its construction and history.
• There is also a museum with exhibits that help understand the engineering challenges faced in constructing the bridge combined with interesting artefacts from the collection of the chief engineer of the bridge, John Bradfield.
• No visit would be complete without visiting the 360 degree viewing platform that provides wonderful views of the bridge and Sydney Harbour.

Barangaroo Reserve

• Barangaroo Reserve is a hill which provides a large lawn area for Sydney residents to relax. The Stargazer Lawn is surrounded by terraced lush native gardens.
• Underneath the hill is a large space known as the Cutaway that provides an area for events and cultural activities.
• The walkway around the hill provides expansive views of Sydney Harbour and is a pleasant addition to the visit.
• Whilst at Barangaroo Reserve we will discuss the history of the area and the impressive construction processes involved in creating this wonderful reserve.
