✅ Tips and Planning Suggestions:

• Plan your travel route and check public transport schedules in advance. The event will attract large crowds, and while extra public transport services will be available, they may be crowded.

• Avoid the hassle of driving and parking; consider taking buses or trains with connecting shuttles.

• Bring sun protection: hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen, as Bondi’s sun and sea breeze can be harsh on the skin.

• A picnic mat or portable chair is recommended for comfortable seating on the sand or grass while enjoying the event.

• Arrive early to secure a good spot or viewing area, avoid peak crowds, and capture great photos.
