Bondi Beach
This is Bondi beach at the turn of the century.
Take note of the main activity being undertaken att he beach, what woud a photo of Bondi today show that is different from this photo?
Australia's first official surf lifesaving club - the first in the world - was founded at Bondi Beach, in Sydney, in 1906. There was little need for surf lifesaving clubs much before this time as it was illegal to swim in the surf during daylight hours before 1902. It was seen as immoral, and men and women could only 'bathe' in the early morning and late evening, and never at the same time!
the legend says that the first person saved using the wheel & reel line was Famous Aviator Charles Kingsford-Smith
