DAY 4: BONDI JUNCTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After 2 days 1 night in Katoomba, I took another 2 hours train ride back to the central station.
\nIt is always convenient to check the train arrival time (from google map) before heading to the train station to avoid waiting at the train station for an hour.
\nI took the 620pm train where it arrived central at 821pm. From the central station, change another train at Platform T4, then 5 stations to stop at Bondi Junction Station. From there, take another bus ride (No. 380, Stand B), 13 stops, 11 minutes to arrive at Bondi Beach, Stand C bus stop.
\nGood Tip: If you are unsure where to change the train or bus, it is always good to ask people around. Most of the time people are willing to help.
\nThe bus arrived at 905pm and stopped right in front of the hostel: Noahs Bondi Backpackers <\/a>
\nGood Tip: As a female traveller, I always search for the strategic location for accommodation which means easy to access and within walking distance from public transport.
\nFurthermore, the hostel is just right in front of Bondi beach. I walked around the beach area and enjoyed the night view here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BONDI ICEBERGS CLUB:<\/strong>
\n\u201cLocated at the southern end of Bondi Beach, Bondi Icebergs Club is an international landmark, and no trip to Sydney is complete without a visit to our pool and clubhouse.<\/p>\n

DAY 5:  <\/strong>BONDI BEACH <\/strong><\/h2>\n

I spent most of my day in Bondi beach on day 4 and Intan decided to join me at Bondi beach. The hostel has a nice big balcony which allows the guests to chill at the area.<\/p>\n

A coastal walk from the Bondi to Coogee<\/strong> is also another popular activity in Bondi. It is six kilometers long and takes about two hours to complete the whole trail and you will get to enjoy the beautiful coastline vistas and cozy beaches.<\/p>\n

It is advisable to walk in the early morning to avoid sunburn. Or else remember to bring the hat and sunscreen.
\nWe stopped at the Tamarama Beach Sydney<\/strong> and had some fun and a great time here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During lunchtime, we have decided to try out the well-known Hurricane’s Grill in Sydney:
\nNo doubt, it is the \u201cBest pork ribs in Sydney!\u201d<\/p>\n

After lunch, we were back to the Bondi beach and enjoyed the sunbath.<\/p>\n

It is time to leave the beach and heading back to the city area. For the next two days, I have reserved the 2 remaining stays at Redfern. This area is an inner-city suburb of Sydney and it is located 3 kilometers south of the Sydney central business district. I have been hearing different reviews about Redfern and I\u2019ve searched the area that that would be interested to explore:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been told that the Sydney suburb of Redfern, the long-time home to many Aboriginal people, has changed. I\u2019ve been asked if Redfern is safe. It is a few years since I have been here and I have come to see for myself. As I leave Redfern Station, I silently acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land and pay my respects to Elders past and present.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As usual, it is always good to use common sense and guts feeling whenever you decided to adventure something.<\/p>\n

It started to rain heavily during my last two days in Sydney. However, it did not stop me to explore around the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Day 6: REDFERN – UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY – OPERA HOUSE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When the heavy downpour stopped, I started to walk around Redfern area in the early morning.
\nViews from Redfern along the way to the University of Sydney:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY<\/strong>
\nIt is worth to pay a visit to the University of Sydney since it was:<\/p>\n

-Established in 1850<\/p>\n

-Australia’s first University<\/p>\n

-One of the world’s leading, comprehensive research and teaching institutions.<\/p>\n

-Ranked in the top 50 universities in the world<\/p>\n

From the University of Sydney, I used the google map to find a way back to the central district:
\nThe final stop was to see through the Sydney Opera House with closed eyes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The weather was gloomy and drizzling during the evening time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I gave a quick walk to The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney which was just right next to Sydney Opera House.<\/p>\n

That pretty much summed up my trip to Sydney.
\nHow did I feel about Sydney?
\nSydney is a high living expenses city, however, there were many nice, cheap and free things you could do in Sydney. Do your own research and plan your trip nicely, you would not need to need to have a high budget to travel around the city. Aside from the town, it is recommended to spend a few days in the countryside. If you have noticed, most of my travel focus is on sightseeing, understanding the local cultures and take a chance to interact with the locals and meeting new people.
\nThat is also one of the reasons why I enjoyed traveling alone.<\/p>\n
