Did you know Bronte Beach is home to one of the oldest surf lifesaving clubs in the world? Established in 1903, the Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club was formed by a group of local swimmers keen on improving beach safety—a task it has diligently pursued ever since. In contrast, the Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club was founded a year later in 1906. Both clubs have significantly contributed to the surf lifesaving movement in Australia. \n\nAs we look around, you may also notice some stunning rock formations. Bronte Beach is well-known for its rocky outcrops, creating a unique and dramatic seascape. The rocks here, composed of sandstone, are a popular spot for rock fishing and exploring. \n\nIf you're feeling adventurous, I suggest taking a walk along the coastal path to Bronte Park. The path provides fantastic views of the coastline and is also great for whale watching during migration season. Humpback whales are typically seen from late May to early November, with peak sightings usually occurring in June and July in the morning and late afternoon. \n\nTake your time to absorb all that Bronte Beach has to offer, and let me know when you're ready to continue on our journey to Coogee.\n"}]},{"address":"504 Bronte Rd","placeId":null,"location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-33.905258959958566,"longitude":151.26916484701786},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Bronte Baths"},{"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEpYJZubgdZo6RI6NPNlc%2FBronte%20Baths.mp4?alt=media&token=649261b5-03dd-42c8-8ddf-28e176cf7129"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEpYJZubgdZo6RI6NPNlc%2FBronte3.jpg?alt=media&token=54d1c3a7-118f-44b1-af2b-70989714d206"},{"type":"text","content":"Welcome to Bronte Baths, one of the most unique and picturesque spots along the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk.

It's an invigorating feeling that's hard to describe.\n\nI bet you didn't know that Bronte Beach was once the site of a thriving Aboriginal community.

When the British arrived in the late 18th century, they brought disease and violence, which devastated the local population.\n\nBut today, we celebrate the resilience and culture of the Gadigal people, and you can see their influence all around us. Look out for the Aboriginal rock carvings and engravings that can be found along the coast.\n\nNow, let's get into the water! The Bronte Baths are perfect for a refreshing dip, especially on a hot summer day. There are showers and changing rooms nearby, and if you're feeling adventurous, you can swim out to the edge of the pool and look back at the beach.

As you look out over the ocean, you can see why it's become such a popular spot for visitors and locals alike.\n\nOne of the unique features of this stop is the breathtaking view of the coastline, which you can take in from this very spot. I love coming here in the mornings to watch the sunrise, or in the evenings to catch the sunset. It's a truly magical experience.\n\nBut, there's more to this cemetery than just the view. It's actually the final resting place of many notable Australians, including the famous poet Henry Lawson and the former Prime Minister Sir John Robertson. You can learn more about their lives and contributions to Australia's history by exploring the cemetery.\n\nAs we look around, you might notice the mix of different headstones and monuments, showcasing the cultural diversity of the people buried here. It's a reflection of the multicultural society that Sydney has become, and a testament to the important role that the cemetery plays in our community.\n\nIf you're interested in exploring more of the cemetery, I highly recommend taking a walk through some of the historic areas, like the Jewish section or the Chinese section. These areas have unique features that showcase the diversity and history of our city.\n\nWhen you're done here, continue on the Bondi to Coogee Coastal walk to explore more of Sydney's natural beauty.

Believe it or not, this pool is one of the most unique swimming spots in all of Sydney.\n\nAs you stand here looking out at the ocean, can you guess what makes this pool so special? It's not just any regular swimming pool, it's actually a natural rock pool that has been hewn out of the ocean's rock shelf. This means that it's filled with salt water from the ocean, so you can swim and experience the waves just like you would in the open water.\n\nThe Geoff James Pool is named after a local legend who used to swim in these waters every day, no matter the weather. As Geoff once said, \"The ocean is my life, and this pool is my sanctuary\". The pool was built in the 1880s as a safe place for local swimmers to enjoy the ocean without the dangers of strong currents.\n\nIn front of us, you can see the pool's unique shape - it's not a typical rectangular pool but rather a natural shape created by the ocean's movements. The pool is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or just soaking up the sun.\n\nIf you're feeling adventurous, I recommend climbing up to the top of the cliffs on either side of the pool for some incredible views of the ocean. Just be sure to take care and watch your step.\n\nAs we continue on our Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, take your time to explore the Geoff James Pool and soak up the atmosphere of this unique location.

Believe it or not, this stunning walkway was once a simple concrete footpath, but it was transformed into a rainbow-hued attraction in 2017.\n\nThe transformation of the walkway was inspired by the marriage equality movement in Australia, and it was the first of its kind in the country. I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made towards equality, and the Coogee Rainbow Walkway is a tangible representation of that progress.\n\nAs we stand here on this vibrant walkway, I invite you to take a moment and look around. Can you see the colourful handprints and messages of love and support etched into the pavement? These messages were added by members of the community during the walkway's transformation and serve as a reminder of the importance of love and acceptance.\n\nAs you walk along the path, I encourage you to take some time to explore the surrounding area. The walkway connects to several beaches, cafes, and parks, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll. You can also take advantage of the many photo opportunities along the way and capture some incredible memories.\n\nIf you plan to continue walking, I recommend taking some time to grab a bite to eat or relax.\n\nRemember to take your time and enjoy the area's unique features, including stunning views and natural beauty.\n\nThis is our final stop on the walk, thank you for joining me on this great walk and I hope you have a great day.\n\n"}]}]
