Garie Beach

Do people still go to the beaches a lot in the winter in australia?

Im from the U.S. and am thinking about taking a trip to australia this summer(but it will be winter in australia, as the seasons are opposite). I would like to hang out at bondi for a couple days because iv'e heard its a happenin' place but don't know if there will actually be people on it at that time. If not, are there other beaches in australia that might be fun during their winter?

1. bondi will be to cold to go to the beach in winter as will anywhere other than queensland
2. There will still be people about but it's too cold for the beach. Cairns or Broome are lovely and warm in winter.
3. There will still be people at Bondi, but the only ones braving the water will be the surfers in their wetsuits. You might be lucky enough to get a heat wave while here and then it may be warm enough to go swimming, but the water will still be freezing. If you actually want to go swimming then you need to go up to North Queensland, though the beaches up there are flat with no surf.
