Bronte, New South Wales
Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRO : Bronte, New South Wales
Bronte is the name of a suburb and a beach in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia. Bronte is located about 7 km east of the Sydney city centre and about 2.5 km south of Bondi Beach. There are scenic cliff top walking paths from Bronte going southwards to Coogee via the Waverley Cemetery and going northwards through Tamarama and Bondi Beach. The clifftop path offers views which extend from Ben Buckler in the north to Malabar in the south.
The Bronte surf lifesaving club was founded in 1903 and claims to be the oldest surf lifesaving club in the world.
An annual long distance ocean swimming event is held in December each year between Bondi Beach and Bronte. The Bronte Road beachside shopping precinct is noteworthy because in recent years every shop has been converted into a restaurant, leaving no stores of any other type.
