Bondi is the most famous beach in Australia. It’s well and truly established as one of Sydney’s major tourist attractions, and the fame is deserved – that much is clear at around 2 in the afternoon on a warm Summer Saturday, when every inch of Bondi’s kilometer or so of white sand is covered with glistening flesh wet with suntan lotion, the water filled with laughing kids, the better swimmers beating far out into ocean, surfers hanging their legs into the ocean, their boards just out past the break. It’s all pretty irresistible.
