The legendary Noah's Backpackers Hotel.

Corner of Francis Street & Campbell Parade, Bondi.
Just down the hill along Bondi Road, where the road meets the beach. At 2-12 Campbell Parade.
Photographed last Friday, 8th November, 2024.
I had parked the car just off Bondi Road in Sandbridge Street and then walked down to Bondi Beach. That took me past this iconic backpackers hotel and I thought it was worth a photo or two!!
This legendary Backpackers Hotel was recently sold for $68 million dollars (AUS) and will be re-developed into a mega new hotel complex.
And for some 'alternative' chilled music, here is the funky 'Tosca' (the Austrian electronic duo, Richard Dorfmeister & Rupert Huber) with their amazing 'Prysock':

At first, today, our newly named Sulphur Crested Cockatoo couple Jack and Tilly arrived for some breakfast seeds. Within a brief period, two more and then two more, six in all arrived out the back. That meant two plates of seeds! With six birds, there were sure to be shenanigans! Would they devour the timber back fence as is their habit? No...why something so tough when there is a whole Orange Tree full of fruit to chew. Jenny was a bit peeved but providing they didn't actually eat the oranges and only chewed them off it was going to save me a picking job on the weekend.
* Backpackers are usually young tourists who come to Australia to tour the country slowly with appropriate visas to allow them to do certain types of work. This often includes working in pubs and cafes or heading out into the country to farms to do often backbreaking work picking fruit and vegetables. But Australia heavily relies on these people and with the start of strawberry season in Queensland not far off, many will be engaged in picking one of our favourite berries. Yum!
On a dull and wet day, these backpackers provide some bright colour as they walk in front of one of the oldest trees in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. That's the Arthur Wall (1829) in the background.
When you love the wilderness but you’re also ‘indoorsy’. Where do you fall on the spectrum?
This is a forced perspective shot with a small diorama sitting on a picnic table at Fort Rock State Park. Pure serendipity that the dirt on my dio matched the natural surrounding soil so well.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Imperial Hotel at the corner of Fort and Queen Street in Auckland, New Zealand; Now a part of the National Historic Places Trust, It is still operational, but now offers accommodation to backpackers. The building has served as a social centre for the city for more than 125 years, and remains a popular watering hole and communal lounge.
The hotel has historic significance: It was developed on a shoreline that was once responsible for bringing goods and other supplies into the area. Since the building housed offices for important organizations including the Harbour Board and the Gas Board, it served as the administrative centre of the city, as well as the social centre. The creation and housing of the Auckland Harbour Board in 1871 played a considerable role in the city’s economic development.
The former hotel is also of architectural importance. The Webb Buildings that adjoined the hotel and became part of it in 1954 with the bar expansion show the architecture of James Wrigley. They are one of the only commercial properties Wrigley designed.
The Imperial Hotel was added to the National Historic Places Trust on September 10, 1987.

Typical scenes from an airport.
People resting, waiting, hurrying.
Stressed, excited, jetlagged.
Waiting for whats up to come.

This was one of the most amazing displays of color I've ever witnessed... it only lasted about 2 minutes so I was scrambling to find a decent composition... but I think I did here :)
Please take a second to view this one large.
