Christmas at Bondi Beach

Christmas at Bondi.

Here are the latest pictures taken on Christmas Day 2007. The day was overcast and cool, but there were red santa hats everywhere. Not a huge crowd, by Bondi standards. The beach was once again an alcohol free zone.

See the latest pictures taken on Boxing Day 2006. Once again drinking alcohol on the beach was not permitted. Boxing Day was a perfect summer's day, but there was no sign of red santa hats and other Christmas festivities. Waverley Council has published a "My Bondi Summer" booklet with the emphasis on "sober santa" and regimented events to ensure a safe Christmas, prevent injuries and reduce resident's complaints.

See some earlier pictures taken on Christmas Day 2005. For the second year in a row drinking alcohol on the beach was not permitted. It was a perfect day for the beach but all bags were searched, so the famous annual "backpacker's party" was destroyed yet again. Many people held parties in their flats instead. Waverley Council published a "Sober Santa" booklet and it was just a typical summer's day.

Sorry, there are no photos available from Christmas 2002.

See some pictures taken on Christmas Day 2001 and New Year's Day 2002. The haze and the odd colours in some pictures are caused by bushfires over 60Km away.

Here are some earlier pictures taken on Christmas Day 2000 and New Year's Day 2001.
