Lauren on Sydney

Insider's Tip
Signing up for surf lessons at Bondi Beach. It’s great for first-timers.

Best Eats
Breakfast - The Bathers’ Pavilion at Balmoral Beach. With views looking straight over the water, it’s a perfect way to start the day.

Cool hang-out
Zeta bar at the Hilton Hotel, Pitt Street. It’s a good place to wear the new outfit after a day shopping in Pitt Street Mall. Be sure to try a Cosmopolitan… who needs New York?
