Bondi, New South Wales
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Bondi Beach (pronounced "Bond-eye" with a long i) is a hugely popular beach and suburb of Sydney, Australia. It is situated in the Eastern Suburbs, roughly seven kilometres from the centre of the city. Large numbers of tourists visit Bondi Beach throughout the year, and many Irish and British tourists spend Christmas Day there. Surf LifeSaving Australia has given different hazard ratings to Bondi Beach in 2004. While the northern end has been rated a gentle 4, the southern side is rated as a 7 (with 10 as the most hazardous) due to a famous rip current known as the "Backpackers Express" (also known as "Bronte Express" because you would supposedly end up at Bronte - two beaches south - if caught in it). In actual fact, there are up to five rip currents operating along the beach, the Backpackers' Express being the one closest to the designated swimming area. There is an underwater shark net shared, during the summer months, with other beaches along the southern part of the coast. Bondi Beach hosted the beach volleyball competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Bondi Beach is the end point of the City to Surf Fun Run which is held each year in August. Until the mid 1990s, the run was held in October and late spring, until a number of heat-related deaths forced organisers to reshedule the event in the cooler month of August. The race attracts over 60,000 entrants who complete the 14 km run from the central business district of Sydney to Bondi Beach. Other annual activities at Bondi Beach include Flickerfest, Australia's premier international short film festival in January, World Environment Day in June, and Sculpture By The Seawalk in November. In addition to many activities, the Bondi Beach Markets is open every Sunday. This market is for the trendy bargain shopper.
