Great blog! Being a Western Australian Bondi Beach was the first place I headed when I reached Sydney in 1986, the rot had already set in but there was still an atmosphere, a whiff of history. She sure is looking pretty ugly now, very sad to see the degradation of a great Australian icon.
Really interesting blog on Bondi. I am not from Sydney originally so missed out on a lot of the history you talk of. Made me feel sentimental all the same for the old Bondi. I agree about the grunge giving the character.
