Coogee beach is what life by the ocean is all about. Coogee is known affectionately as “Sydney’s Seaside Village” and it was great to reunite with my old schoolfriend and see her family so happily settled there.
Coogee is well placed to explore the iconic Sydney sights. We spent a leisurely day walking the Coogee to Bondi coastal walk and another exploring the Botanic Gardens in Sydney with superb views across the ocean back to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Sydney is a great choice of stopover to break up the flight home.

Ibis – something of a nuisance to the Australians, but a real point of interest for us!
