The best thing I liked about Crab Shack skate shop at Bondi Beach were the New Kids on the Block…read morevinyl figurines that weren't on sale, placed just above the entrance as you walked into the store. Apart from that, I also really liked the way the store made good use of their limited space, by placing a few bmx bikes in the two rows of hole punched sheet metal plates that was suspended from the ceiling so as you looked up you could see these cool bikes that were laying just above your head. Some of the other cool items in store included a small range of skateboards including a few long boards against the main wall as you walked in, wheels, bearings and other accessories in the front display cabinet, some skate shoes including Nike SB against the far wall and some protec helmets and protective gear next to the shoes. A small but modest collection of some good skate gear next to the beach.

Bondi surf co is not your typical surf shop for people who just want the latest trend of board…read moreshorts or a cute bikini or budgie smugglers, don't get me wrong, the Bondi Surf Co do sell all those things,; but this is a Surf shop for serious surfers, hence they are the place you go if you really want to surf, rather than just look like you surf. They offer a wide range of surf boards varying in brands and styles so serious surfers can find boards tailored to their surfing requirements. Also they offer a board hire service, so tourists, this is where you can test your surfing expertise. But yes, for everyone else they have all the beachwear you may need, so if you forgot your thongs or lost your sunnies you can find them here. Conveniently they are also directly across the road from the beach.

In particular, I had the displeasure of interacting with an employee (pacific islander, brunette hair, overalls) who felt her job was less important than the SMS messages she was tending to. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back to this location, and highly recommend others go elsewhere.

I finally got around to being able to explore this place. Well, not quite since this place is…read moremonumentally huge, and it is absolutely impossible to pretty much explore every nook and crany in the limited amount of time that was available to me, but I did get a decent chance to wander around a large part of it, and at least say that I have been to Centenial Park, or at least more than just running in there and looking for a toilet. They do have barbeque areas, and quite a few of them, but they also have lakes, and just plain old good parkland to wander around.

Better than a hundred parks! This park is huge! It's a…read moresprawling park, full of all kinds of amenities! There's so much to see and do here- it's a fantastic park in the middle of Sydney. I rode a bike through here on the many improved trails that crisscross through this public space. Through here, there were teams practicing rugby, enough bicyclists to start a biker gang, joggers, runners, and people who were out to just take in the sunshine. As you cross through this park, you find lots of green open spaces large enough to play a full game of rugby, without running into a park bench or a tree. There's restrooms available. My favorite thing about this park is the huge stone gates at each entrance that remind you that you're entering an important public space. There's monuments throughout the park, and plenty of parking! I felt safe riding through here, just due to the sheer number of people who were out having a stroll in the park!
