Hang on! You're starting in Dee Why and going to Bondi and you're driving over the ANZAC bridge? Guess things have changed sin e i lived there.

We’ve had this a few times, is there an alternate route? Maybe because we want to avoid tolls. I don’t know how it happened! 😅 - James

The Icebergs Swim Club Bondi Beach: During the winter months (May to the end of August) Ice blocks go in the pool in the early morning when the swim club uses the pool and this lowers the water temperature. It's apparently good for circulation! The club was set up to keep life guards fit during winter and they have to competitively swim 3 Sundays out of 4 for 5 years to qualify as a fully fledged Iceberg.

Interesting! It was freeeeezing, that’s for sure. It’s such a good idea for life guard training, we didn’t know that! - Josie

I'm glad the young lady knows something about the regional geography and has a location awareness when traveling. Obviously done her research before leaving home.

I wonder why it became so famous? Australia has some better beaches, for sure!! Thank you for your support! - James

@@JamesandJosieTravel It is a beach of convenience because you can get public transport and go to Sydney CBD . I love remote beaches that are untouched and have it all to yourself . I hope you are having a great time .

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!!! Same! We feel like WA might have a lot of those? 😁

the beach is empty because it is winter in australia and why the sand and the water is cold

I enjoyed the video, but still wondering 1. how you ended up crossing the Anzac Bridge going from Dee Why to Bondi? and 2. Why you wouldn't have gone to any of the great beaches on the north side to avoid the city?

Good question, we did it to avoid tolls! 😅 In our other Sydney videos we visit Manly & the beaches along the Hermitage Foreshore! We did miss so many amazing beaches though… - James

You would not be able to see the sand in summer , it would be packed. Fun video guys .

That’s what we thought! It was still amazing weather when we visited, hotter than an English summer, that’s for sure!

Much smarter to have stayed at Dee Why. All beaches on the Manly side have pools you can swim in. As a kid I swam all over the beaches from Palm Beach to Manly. There are LOTS of them and they are all good. Have fun. Mike in Oz

If you swam straight out from Bondi Beach you would eventually reach the coast of Chile. And have a world swimming record! 😀

Hahaha - it would be impressive. It blows our minds to think that there’s nothing but water between Bondi and Chile… 😄

I lived in Bondi and used the beach but it has been ruined by tourism. It’s simply famous for its close proximity to the CBD .

@@JamesandJosieTravel 'Ruined' was probably the wrong word. It is no longer an enjoyable place to be in the summer time because of overcrowding. That's actually what I meant.
