Many thanks for that walk down memory lane. I think my father had a drink in 90% of them. Awesome.

Does anyone remember the miniscule Excelsior Hotel (cnr. Barcom Ave. & West St. Darlinghurst), far better known as "The Wedge"? It disappeared to be absorbed into the back of St. Vincents Hospital in the early '60s.

Splendid!

birtfhplace of Oportos , remember meeting tfhe owner Andrea few times at northside end of beach. hed go for swim, while id go for the surf. he was a nice , easy going chap back then.

Bondi beach was the iconic beach back then, cant really say much about it now. but the surf undeniably is one of the things thats kept to its reputation. ive swam and surfed small to monster waves there, wifh a few interesting knockouts. but the place holds up for its surf.

who recalls old italian man who owned bondi pavilion (had 2-3 stores running there back in 80s). that guy certainly raked in the dollars.

also best pizzas back then in the walkthru mall (where ffish'n chips shops was) opposite was Nannys pizza and momas pizza, their pizzas were satisfying. legendary Old Castile pizzeria up the road, was another hot spot for delicious pizza.

reliving the ol' memories. some folk (older gen) look familiar. centre perking on roae was the best thing Bondi offered for parking. parkimg absolute ripoff these days. no excitement, just typical boring, aesthetic modern churnside looking joint. has no character. Bondi Hotel, once known for its all laid out wooden bar , really unique style, was basic but had the feel. thats long gone. best yeeros back in 80-90s (Mr Yeero). served the best oysters anywhere. their marinated chicken and beef and lamb yeeros were top notch.

The best part of a remote control is the MUTE button.

Before it was overcrowded too.

some great footage there. Awesome

Used to fish there for “luderick” also known as “N” . Biguns off the rock

Get rid of the music(?)

used to get the old 382 to Nth Bondi past the stink pipe up the hill to the Oval. Best ever to live in Bondi then, friendliest bus drivers everrrr.

Just love this🥰

How life has degenerated

Wow this bought back memories as a Bondi girl I have had drinks in all but 3.

and with mass immigration watch the rest of Australia turn to crap

Yes the old church gone!

I cant remember what was there prior to construction. Terraces ? Any before photos ?

pity the rail did not continue to Bondi and the eastern Beaches. I lived near Frenchmans road / queens park and was told that the tunnels for the electricals had already been built. would have been a very profitable and useful line.

started teaching in 1976. Was living at Bondi for the construction of the shopping enter that lasted forever.

Wow history

Is the music in the background AI generated by any chance?? :D

I highly doubt it in this Nana world we live in these days

That was my stomping ground 50 60&70s was working class suburb With working class pubs and great “ Sheila’s”

Magnificent artdeco buildings, rock solid building codes proud building trade craftsmanship

Bondi and much of Sydney was such a chill place back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, now it’s turned to crap. Great historical video, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic thank heaven darrren juliska x😊

The Huts

2026 Bred and Bled The Blessed.

Saints were a great band

I can recognize a few from 3rd ramp. Dean and Brad Cook, Mark Scano, Danny Dickinson, and I think myself, Dean Alexander. Playing handball at 3rd ramp.

Exactly, don’t let them die, thanks for your support

Keep fishing and spearing clubs strong ! this is the way 👊🏼

God , its not a porno pick, take your hat off, I thought it was leave your hat on,

Council reckon they have a healthy budget. Includes OS trips, and procurement of ' modern slavery' templates ? With the parking fees they pull in you have to ask why this 'demo by neglect' is happening.

Love your vids thanks for making them

What a shame it looks like today grew up in 70's and 80's loving that pool learning to snorkel. What a shame the youngsters of today can't get the life experience that we had.😢

Yep that was my end, good fishing.

Looking way past It's "used by"🥺

a lot of that has not been touched since before WW2

mass tourism and gentrification tore the heart and soul out of Bondi and replaced it with drugs, money and ephemeral, disposable plastic culture. Looks so run down and devoid of soul. Its just cheap and tatty, and how much money did they make only to turn it into the worst society can offer

Every single photo has an associated memory, thanks for sharing.

Bondi from the South before Markam did some dodgy deal and sold off the public land donated to us for a rich mega development, allowed the developers to dump the demolition spoil straight onto the beach. I bet you can still find housebricks there. they closed and sold off halfway houses and ensured the rich glitz, souless rubbish would take over.

it was a good neighbourhood, good days and good times, pile of garbage now, feels like a glitzy glass white shoe drugs and money brothel. Was a very human place with everyone from the bottom to the top and from al oler, locals, tourists whoever.

Wonderful pics - I don't remember the old sandstone church across from where the Apple store now sits in Bondi Junction - was that just demolished or moved somewhere else ?
