Her apartment was in an area called Point Piper, also surrounded by
water. "It was right on the point, so my apartment was surrounded
by water on all sides except for one, obviously," Bosworth says.
"It was so beautiful to wake up every day and just literally have
ocean all around you. There's something exciting and peaceful about
it at the same time. The ocean lapped up against my patio, and when
I went to bed at night, I could hear the boats."
WHEN YOU'RE LOIS LANE, you never know when Superman is going
to swoop down and carry you off into the clouds or when you might
fall into the clutches of some evildoer.
For that, Bosworth required sustenance, and
Sydney has plenty of
it.
When she wasn't working, she'd go exploring. It was always easy to
find a bite to eat along the way. "There is this unbelievably
beautiful walk, and anyone who's lived in Sydney would know it,"
she says. "You start at Icebergs, which is a wonderful restaurant
- really good food. We had birthday parties for some of the cast
and the director [Bryan Singer] there. We would meet at Icebergs on
a Sunday afternoon, and you get a good bottle of wine or a cocktail
and just watch the sunset because it's right on the water."
From Icebergs, "you walk all the way along the water, up around
different sorts of bays and inlets, and come to
Bondi Beach, which
is another great place to get food." Often, Bosworth would stop for
what she calls "a guilty treat. There's a great fish-and-chips
place. I can't remember exactly what it's called. But it's local,
and it's kind of the only one there. It's just a great place to eat
and kind of socialize." If you miss the
fish-and-chips, you can
catch Three Eggs in North Bondi on the way back. "It's more cozy
than Kawa, which is open and airy and light," she explains. "Three
Eggs has big wooden tables and everybody sits out together. It has
really, really yummy breakfast foods. Or pastas."
