But the elegant east also offers some of the city’s finest dining, fabulous watering holes from hip bars to old-school pubs, excellent shopping in spots like Bondi Junction and Paddington, the splendid Centennial Park – 190 hectares of glistening green –  and coastal walks that stretch for kilometres.
