It’s no wonder that Bondi Beach is one of the most Instagrammed spots in Australia, it is Sydney’s most popular beach and is known all over the world.

Bondi Beach is great for sitting in the sun, swimming in the Coral Sea, learning to surf, beach fun, oceanside dining, and hotels.

If you are in Sydney, one of the most wonderful ways to see the wildlife is to head over to the Taronga Zoo in the Mosman suburb. The beautiful zoo is home to over 4,000 animals, but they aren’t the only view you get there. The zoo features amazing views of the Sydney Harbour and the city skyline.
