From GC to Sydney, NSW : Bondi Beach

Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera semua,

Alahai...bila lah nak habis cerita Sydney ni....lama-lama dah lupa apa yang nak di tulis kat sini tetapi JM akan cuba kongsikan kat sini yer..kalau rasa malas nak baca tu..tengok gambo je lah...

Seperti yang dijanjikan dalam entry ynag lepas kami akan ke Bondi Beach, sebutan yang betul adalah (Bond-dy/bondai) Beach. 

Bondi Beach or Bondi Bay (/ˈbɒndaɪ/ BON-dy) is a popular beach and the name of the surrounding suburb in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Bondi Beach is located 7 km (4 mi) east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Waverley Council, in the Eastern Suburbs. Bondi, North Bondi and Bondi Junction are neighbouring suburbs. (source from WikiPediA)

Bondi Beach is one of Australia's most famous beaches and among the world's most well-known beaches. The beach is roughly a kilometre long and is patrolled by lifesavers who make swimmers stay between the yellow and red flags.  

How to get to Bondi Beach :

- You can reach there by BUS or Train

Bus: Catch any bus marked 380 or 333 but make sure it's marked Circular Quay not Bondi Junction. The trip to Circular Quay takes 45 minutes on the 380 bus, and about six minutes less on the 333. All 381 and 382 buses terminate at Bondi Junction. 

Train: Catch any bus (Bondi Junction or Circular Quay) and change to join the train at the Bondi Junction interchange. Follow the crowds. This is generally quicker on weekdays especially in peak hour, but not as scenic as staying on a bus for the full trip to the city.

(1) panoramic lookout at the end of the street. Survey Australia’s most famous beach and the craggy cliffs jutting south to Coogee.

(2) Bondi Beach, but if the sea is rough, backtrack along Ramsgate Avenue instead. There are strong currents and rips at Bondi that aren’t always obvious. If you feel like a swim, stay between the red and yellow flags where the professional lifeguards can keep an eye on you.

(3) Bondi Pavilion (Queen Elizabeth Drive. Built in 1928 in the Mediterranean style, the pavilion serves as a cultural center, hosting concerts, performances, exhibitions, and movie screenings. There’s a crop of good restaurants here too.

Banyak pit stop, kiranya boleh habiskan masa seharian di sana. Oleh kerana kami gerak dari Circular Quay jam 2.20 petang , so kami berjalan dari pit stop 2 - pit stop 7 pastu patah balik ke pit stop 2 untuk bali ke City.

Panjang betul intro nya...baru intro ke....ahaha...bila nak mula ni.....ok..ok..let's go....ingat lagi tak dalam entry yang lepas JM gerak dari Royal Botanic Garden ke Circular Quay Station untuk naik bas ke Bondi Beach.

Cara-cara nak ke Bondi Beach dari Circular Quay train station menggunakan perkhidmatan bas:

1. Cari bus stand E, di sana ada bus stand A - E.

2. Dari bus stand E, naik bus bernombor 380

3. Tambang bas : guna kad MyMulti 3

4. Stop at Chemist Bondi Beach..nak tahu kat mana nak stop. sila lihat gambar dibawah

5. Kemudian cross jalan kerana ia terletak di kanan jalan

Tunggu bas di Stand E yer - Bus No 380

Kalau nak free tak perlu tambang naik bas ni 555 - Central Bus Distict tapi area City je...

Tempoh masa perjalanan dari City lebih kurang dalam 30 - 45 min bergantung kepada traffic. Hari tu kami naik bas jam 2.20 petang dan sampai di Bondi Beach dalam jam 3.15 petang. Mula-mula tu dalam bas cuak jugak, kat mana nak berhenti ni, kebetulan kawan JM ni duduk bersebelahan dengan sorang ladies ni, so minta dia tolong tekan loceng bila sampai ke sana nanti. Nasib baik orang-orang Australia ni baik hati....janji kita pun jangan malu nak bertanya kan. Okey...kepada sesiapa yang tak tahu kat mana nak stop..meh JM tunjuk gambar ni..kalau korang nampak je kedai ni terus tekan loceng eh.

Terletak di sebelah kiri jalan dan sebelum traffic light tu..kat sebelah kanan adalah Bondi Beach

Pasir pantai yang luas dan halus..ramai orang surfing

Kalau nak tahu kat sini di sediakan Coastal Walk, kita boleh berjalan di sepanjang tepi pantai sambil melihat keindahan air laut yang membiru dan ramai yang surfing kat sini walaupun cuaca sejuk. Terdapat banyak batu-batu yang berbentuk amat menarik. Let's go..tengok gambar...let's picture talk..hehehe..malas nak tulss sebenarnya.

Kami berjalan sehingga ke pit stop Tamarama Beach, kemudian berpatah balik ke tempat turun bas tadi kerana hari semakin gelap. Lebih kurang jam 5.00 petang naik bas di stop yang bertentangan semasa turun tadi dan naik bus no 380 dan last stop at Custom House di Circular Quay. 

Last pit stop at Tamarama Beach

Meh JM beri direction from Bondi Beach to City :

1. Dari Bondi Beach naik Bus No 380, last stop at Custom House (Circular Quay Train Station)

2. Naik train at  Circular Quay, stop at Central Station

3. From Central Station, ambil Exit 3 - Eddy Ave 

4. Apabila sampai ke  jalan Eddy Ave, belok kiri jalan terus sehingga jumpa George Street

5. Dari George Street belok kanan, jalan terus untuk sampai ke Breakfree on George Hotel

Tapi kami tidak terus balik ke hotel..singgah di Market City yang terletak di Hay Street, aras 1 untuk ke Taikee Super Market beli barang dapur untuk di masak makan malam. Jangan tak percaya kat market ni ada jual Malysian Food, dan di aras  yang sama ada jual barang-barang basah seperti ikan, sotong, kerang dan pelbagai jenis SEAFOOD. Memang tak kebulur kalau tinggal lama di Sydney..sediakan duit je.

 

Antara makanan dalam tin yang dijual

Antara menu kami malam tu adalah sup sayur..makanan sihat...tidak berminyak..stok megi tak pernah putus kalau travel

Fuhhh..panjang betul entry kali ni..penuh dengan gambar...okey kawan-kawan..end of day 2...tunggu ke mana JM pada hari ke -3 ..kalau nak tahu teruskan setia bersama blog Jari Manis yer..
