Travel agent Harley recce – Recce 01.12.23

The Travel agent Harley recce was organised by our customer. They are a travel agent and their customers were out from India to look around Sydney. This is with the view of organising a Harley and trike ride for a large group next year. After a few changes of pick up, our two Harley riders met the passengers at a winery at Moore Park.

Centennial Park

Firstly, they rode through the city and into the huge Centennial Park, always is a lovely experience. 120 fields and venues, and 35+ different sports played in the Centennial Parklands. It is the largest community sports precinct in Australia! The history is also interesting: “Originally a swamp and then set aside as land for the water source for Sydney. Centennial Park was reconstructed as a public park and opened in 1888. Sir Henry Parkes’ vision was to create a ‘People’s Park’ in which the citizens of Sydney could ‘take in the air’ away from the Sydney town centre.” This photo was taken here.

Queens Park

Next, was Queen’s Park. It is a 26-hectare urban park, set in a natural amphitheatre at the foot of dramatic sandstone cliffs, with panoramic views of the Sydney region. It’s right next to the famous Centennial Park so they rode through it. Already, the travel agent Harley recce was showing the passengers some very interesting places.

Bronte + Tamarama

Travelling east, they rode to Bronte Beach. It sits on Nelson Bay, surrounded by Bronte Park. Bronte offers scenic cliff-top walking paths south to Coogee via the Waverley Cemetery and north to Tamarama and Bondi Beach.

Riding north, along more beautiful, though possibly less well known, beaches, they arrived at the suburb of Tamarama. It has a small ocean beach about 1 kilometre south of Bondi Beach and a couple of hundred metres north of Bronte Beach. It is an extremely narrow beach and deceptive for its size. Tamarama Beach is often referred to as Glamarama (or Glamourama), owing to the alleged abundance of glamorous people who sunbathe (often topless), on what must be one of the smallest strips of sand in the state (Wikipedia).

Bondi Beach

Next, they drove past the world famous Bondi Beach to the south side. Looking from the two ends of the beach give a different perspective. This is the beach where Bondi Lifeguards of the Bondi Rescue TV series is filmed. When in Sydney it is one of the places you should visit. The beach is seriously nice (but not our favourite) and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia. Bondi Beach is recorded by the Australian Museum that Bondi means place where a fight using boondi sticks (nullas nullas or fighting sticks) took place.

However, the hour was almost up so our riders dropped the passengers at the pre-organised place at Bondi Beach. In conclusion, the travel agent Harley recce was a success – you can see by their smiles that they had a great Harley Davidson ride and saw so much. Feel the Freedom! Design your own tour!
