07/31/25 - Bondi Towards Coogee

Whenever we are in Sydney we try to take the walk from Bondi to Coogee or sometimes the other way around. The weather looked good in the morning, but much grayer at the coast when we arrived in Bondi. We had raincoats. We had rain hats. We weren't going to let a chance of rain stop us.

We began the walk south. The ocean was wild, but the rain was light. There were waterfalls pouring down the cliffs visible at various points along the trail. The rain picked up a bit. Depending on exactly which way the trail was heading, the rain seemed to slow or pick up.

We made it past the graveyard, but as we headed down towards Clovelly Beach the rain picked up in earnest. Our pants were soaked. We had rain pants back at the hotel, but, overconfident, we had forgotten to wear them. Drenched, we made our way down to a bus stop. The driver apologized, he wasn't heading towards central Sydney. We ordered a car using an online app and settled into the bus station shelter to wait for our ride.

All told, we made it about 3/4 of the way to Coogee which given the weather was better than we might have hoped.


The weather looks good in Sydney Harbor.

Not so good at Bondi Beach.

A bit damp
