Wednesday, 1 February 2006 - BONDI: a biography
EXHIBITION ON NOW until 19 March 2006.
Tells the story of this famous Sydney suburb - the people, ideas and institutions that have shaped it - and how Australia and the world came to love it.

Famous for being famous, Bondi has regaled Australia with a continual stream of controversy, scandal and sensation. In a history littered with brawls, bikinis, crimes, characters, bombs and battles over development Bondi has lived up to its reputation as Australia's most colourful suburb, a microcosm of Sydney writ large.
