NEIGHBOURHOOD Bondi Tables are a precious commodity on Sunday mornings at Harry’s. Those who do get lucky lazily chat their way through such breakfast delights as eggs, avocado and kale. Some are on pavement tables, others on stools at the counter, gazing through the big open windows. There are dozens of cafes like this in Bondi, the beach suburb that takes Sydney’s brunching obsession to its zenith. It’s Australia at its most Southern Californian — everyone looks sickeningly fit and beautiful, the dogs on leads are always tiny and surfboards take to the ocean. New developments have added to that vibe — Bondi has undergone a considerable sprucing up in the past few years. The Bondi Pacific apartments complex, on Campbell Parade, which hosts the airily hip QT Bondi hotel, is clearly aimed at those with both serious money and designer inclinations. The North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club’s revamp has turned it into a modernist architectural statement; celebrity chef restaurants such as former MasterChef Australia judge Matt Moran’s North Bondi Fish are muscling out down-at-heel joints; indie boutiques boast eye-catching dresses with eye-watering price tags. It all comes with a big dose of diversity, too. North Bondi is one of Sydney’s premier gay hangouts; Thai massage joints sit happily alongside Brazilian churrascarias, Portuguese chicken shops and gelaterias so good they have permanent queues outside; the backpacker and Orthodox Jewish communities are also both large and visible. Of course, the real draw of Bondi isn’t the streets, it’s the beach. On summer Sundays, the half-mile swathe of sand is crowded with bodies. More still are bobbing between the flags, trying to catch the waves and bodysurf back to shore. And, throughout the day, thousands of somewhat unnecessarily lycraclad walkers strut off around the clifftops on the four-mile Bondi to Coogee Walk. Yet when the day breaks, there’s a calmness and raw beauty, and Eugene Tan will be there to capture it. His Aquabumps photographic gallery is the result of a quixotic passion for the ocean and the surf that’s seen him take pictures of Bondi at dawn every day since 1999. In his shots, the lone swimmers, the pink skies and the waves crashing into the saltwater pools strip Bondi back to its core.
