Milky Lane is not holding back on the sweets as it launches a new dessert creation. Dubbed the Loaded Donut Fries, this fantastic treat will be available in Coogee and its other branches all throughout June.
This sweet concoction is a bowl full of crunchy donut fries coated with cinnamon sugar. It’s topped with a generous helping of ripened cherry bits, to look like bacon, and shaved milky bar, to look like cheese.
An order of this dessert also comes with sweet salted caramel sauce and dollops of strawberry jam custard. Needless to say, this treat is a rich and delicious indulgence that would make a trip Milky Lane worth the visit.
The Loaded Donut Fries will be available on the menu until the end of June only but Milky Lane’s perpetual favourite burgers and sides, as well as cocktails and mocktails selections, will always satisfy.

The full fund to revamp the Coogee Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) has finally been secured as the Randwick Council pledged it will cover the remaining $720,000 needed for the $3.6-million project.
Randwick Mayor Kathy Nielson confirmed the pledge in a press release. The funds will come from the Council’s ‘Our Community Our Future’ program since the Coogee SLSC building is regarded as a Council asset.
“The Coogee Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1907 and is one of Australia’s oldest surf clubs. The Coogee nippers is one of the largest in Australia providing local kids with positive and healthy activities while building their water safety skills,” Ms. Neilson.
Construction of the Coogee Surf Life Savings Club is scheduled for winter 2020 to include the following improvements, as stated in its development application (DA/897/2016):
New external balcony along the eastern façade at the ground floor level with protective
sea wall;
Internal reconfiguration of the first-floor level to create an open floor plan, with the
potential to be partitioned into three separate areas;
Raising the internal floor level at the north end of the first floor to make it consistent with
the rest of this floor level;
New external east facing deck with glass balustrade and BBQ facilities at either end;
New external entry stair;
New concrete roof over the entry area extension, and new metal roof over the infilled terrace
area generally;
New glazing to the eastern and northern façade, and new high-level glazing to the
western façade; and
Reinstatement of the existing clock, external signage zones, relocation of the existing flagpole and new flagpole.

The rest of the money to complete this project will come from a grant given by the Office of Local Government Stronger Communities Fund worth $2.8 million, whilst $300,000 will come from the NSW Department of Industry Office of Responsible Gambling.
Originally built in 1907, the Coogee Surf Life Savings Club is one of Australia’s oldest surf clubs. Today, it has over 2,500 members.
Aside from swimming meets and competitions, the site is also used for private events such as weddings. The building was last upgraded in 2010. Prior to that, it underwent an upgrade in 1996, according to its current president, Matt Fernandez.
“We are one of the largest surf clubs in Australia, and this will upgrade will ensure the club’s longevity in the community, and create a place where people can have parties and events,” Mr. Fernandez told reporters.
Who’s up for some chocolate and sugar-infused Easter Egg Cocktail?
Just imagine its rich and creamy blend of milk and vanilla vodka that is combined with chocolate sauce, créme de cacao liqueur and raspberry Chambord. And to make it even more special, this cocktail is poured into an Easter Egg shaped chocolate instead of a common cocktail class.
It surely sounds tempting isn’t it?
Well, luckily for us the Coogee Bay Hotel will be serving this sweet concoction from 18 April until 22 April 2019 for their Easter Eggstravaganza long weekend celebration. Given its limited availability, make sure to head over at the hotel and give this Easter booze a try!

A few metres down Coogee Beach lies the famous Wylie’s Bath. Nestled on the cliff’s rocky terrain, this community pool is one of the most recognizable, significant, and historical ocean swimming baths in Sydney. It’s no wonder it has been listed as a heritage site.
Visitors to Wylie Baths come for a relaxing swim at the 50-metre pool or for a chat with other guests at the kiosks as they enjoy their coffee and snacks. Some go to Wylie Baths to join the regular swimming lessons and fitness or wellness classes organized by different groups every week.
Qualified and trained masseuse are also on site to indulge the visitors with soothing massages. If the guests don’t want to swim, however, they may look around at the nearby shops for some merchandise and other products.
People do all of these relaxing activities at the Wylie Baths, while experiencing the very best view of the Pacific Ocean from the coastline.
Who Owns Wylie Baths?
In 1907, champion underwater swimmer Henry Alexander Wylie built the baths where his daughter, Wilhelmina “Mina” Wylie, trained with Fanny Durack as Australia’s Olympic representatives. They were the first women n the history of the sports competition to win gold and silver for swimming.

Wylie was able to secure a special lease for the baths and added change rooms and a timber boardwalk by the cliff a few years later. In 1959, Desmond Selby took over the lease at a time when Wylie’s Bath showed signs of dilapidation. Mr Selby renamed the facility as Sunstrip Pool, extended the boardwalk, and built kiosks around the site.
Frequent storms in the ’70s caused severe damage to the baths, prompting Mr Selby to close the facilities. By 1978, the Randwick Council took ownership and reinstated the site to its original name.
With the help of architects Keith Cottier and Allen Jack, Wylie’s Bath underwent a major renovation in the early ’90s under the Council’s management. Today, it is managed by the Wylie’s Baths Trust.
Why is Wylie’s Baths Significant?
Aside from its close association to the women Olympic swimmers, Wylie’s Bath is important to Coogee and Sydney’s history because it is:
the first mixed-gender bath pool in Australia
the first recreation facility for the public in Coogee
the site of the first Australian Swimming Championships
Today, various swim clubs from Coogee, Marouba and Randwick use Wylie’s Baths.
The Bondi to Coogee walk is Sydney’s favourite coastal walk, extending six kilometres. The walk highlights gorgeous views of the beaches, cliffs, bays, rock pools and parks.
