Bondi was pissing rain when I was there but I still did the walk from Coogee to Bondi. It was gorgeous and reminded me quite a bit of walks in Santa Cruz and San Francisco, shrouded in fog. The rock formations were really beautiful though.

I would say that culturally, Sydney is a bit behind in some areas, I went to a bar that was a pitch-perfect imitation of an old school California bar, walls covered head to toe with Americana, serving whiskey old fashioned etc., except the drinks all cost $15+. I suppose the cost of living is a factor of the remoteness and high average wage though.
