Bondi to Coogee Coastal Hike

After breakfast on my one full day in Sydney, I boarded a bus from Hyde Park towards Bondi. The ride took about 40 minutes, at which point I alighted near the famous Icebergs pool at Bondi, which is the start point of the coastal walk. The view at the start point was spectacular, with the surf crashing onto the crescent shaped beach and onto the Icebergs pool below me. Walking south, I soon came across some interesting rock formations. I would see variations these formations throughout my walk.

Most of the coastal walk was very civilized. Although the terrain was rugged, the path was mostly paved with good directional signs. The first beach I encountered after Bondi was Tamarama, located in an inlet. After that, the walk took me to Bronte Beach. By this point, I noted that the Icebergs pool wasn't a one off - I saw at least two other similar pools built right next to the ocean at various SLSCs which I learned stood for surf life saving club. I am guessing the pools are saltwater. I marveled at the people jumping into the pool and the ocean. It wasn't terribly cold but I wouldn't be that brave.
