RDHS History Talk: Resuming Bondi Beach
Bondi Beach from the south end looking towards Ben Buckler (Mort Family Collection 1879-89, Mitchell Library, State Library of NSW)
Join the Randwick and District Historical Society for an engaging presentation that will explore the history of Bondi Beach. Did you know the world-famous Bondi Beach was privately owned for most of the nineteenth century? Public use was dependent on the landowners’ permission until the NSW Government resumed it in 1882. Achieving public access took time and advocacy.
About the speaker: Alice Paul is a local historian and member of the Waverley Historical Society. Alice contributes to the Society’s annual exhibitions and is an editorial member and contributor to the Society’s latest publication, Waverley.
