Bondi Beach is a history of an iconic place. It is a big history of
geological origins, management by Aboriginal people, environmental
despoliation by white Australians, and the formation of beach
cultures. It is also a local history of the name Bondi, the origins
of the Big Rock at Ben Buckler, the motives of early land holders,
the tragedy known as Black Sunday, the hostilities between
lifesavers and surfers, and the hullabaloos around the Pavilion.
Pointing to a myriad of representations, author Douglas Booth shows
that there is little agreement about the meaning of Bondi. Booth
resolves these representations with a fresh narrative that presents
the beach's perspective of a place under siege. Booth's creative
narrative conveys important lessons about our engagement with the
physical world.
