About the book:
Discovering Bondi is a book that preserves and records the uniqueness
of Bondi. The authors, like many Bondi locals, are determined for Bondi
not to become another Surfers Paradise. One objective of this book is to
tell about the spirit and culture of Bondi that exists because of all the
people who've walked and sat on the sacred sands. People love Bondi.
They are emotional and nostalgic about this beautiful place. Bondi's
history, Bondi's place in people's hearts and lives, makes Discovering
Bondi an important historical and cultural record.
Mayor of Waverley, Paul Pearce, speaking at the book launch said,
"... I think the book is an excellent record for visitors to Sydney
and excellent for us locals in that it gives a real feel for our area.
There are many aspects in 'Discovering Bondi' that we didn't know about.
It also offers a condensed history of our area and shows us what
remains."
