When it comes to massive crowds on Bondi Beach….New Year’s Day is always a biggie, and yesterday was no exception!

So yesterday was a glorious winter’s day and I decided to take a walk down to the beach area of Bondi. There were lots of people around – as there often is on Sunday morning – with Bondi markets etc. and Bondi was buzzing. But as I walked I really felt overwhelmed with all the […]

Back in the days before our homes had several entertainment screens in them, the only way to get some screen entertainment was to go the picture theatre – or cinema, as we now know it. In the Bondi area alone (including Bondi Junction), there were at least half a dozen picture theatres in operation around […]
