Water plays a very big role in the
inhabitants’ leisure time. There are
27 miles of beaches to the north
and south of Sydney, so it’s hardly
surprising that the locals spend
so much time in the water! Two
of the best-known beaches
are Manly Beach and Bondi
Beach, where the “beautiful young
people” of Sydney have been
showing off their skills ever since
surfing competitions were first
organized there.
