Australia has 11,000 beaches and 36,735 kilometres of coastline just waiting to be explored. Some of its beaches are ideal for snorkelling and diving; others are ideal for whale watching or turtle spotting. Longer beaches may attract dedicated walkers and joggers, but surfers in Australia and around the world are attracted to those beaches with the best waves.
Sydney is known for its beaches, and a dedicated surfer is sure to find a spot to surf on virtually any of those beaches. Bondi Beach may well be the best known beach in Sydney, but it tends to be quite crowded at times. Manly Beach, on the other hand, is known as the birthplace of Australian surfing and has been named a World Surfing Reserve site for its consistently good surf.

One of the sails from the Sydney Opera House
According to an Aboriginal Dreamtime legend, Meehni, Wimplah, and Gennedoo once lived in the Jamison Valley of the Blue Mountains. These three sisters had fallen in love with brothers from another tribe, and tribal laws forbade them to marry. The brothers abducted the sisters, triggering a terrible war. In an attempt to protect the sisters, a witch doctor turned them to stone. Tragically, he was killed before he could restore them, and The Three Sisters remain today, magnificent pillars of stone, in Katoomba, a drive about two hours west of Sydney.
