Bondi and much of Sydney was such a chill place back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, now it’s turned to crap. Great historical video, thanks for sharing.

[@bondihistory]

Thanks, yes gentrification well and truly changed the old days

3:31 went to kindergarten which was out the back of that church in the late 1950s.

[@bondihistory]

Yes the church, not many remember that!

[@Gazzapa57]

Wonderful pics - I don't remember the old sandstone church across from where the Apple store now sits in Bondi Junction - was that just demolished or moved somewhere else ?

[@bondihistory]

Not sure about it being moved, interesting the church was moved for progress?

[@Steven-np5me]

Demolished mid to late 60's, watched it coming down on way to school

[@shagonarockfishing]

@@Gazzapa57 thankyou

[@craigham63]

They demolished that. old church. And a few of the shops next to it. about 50 years ago I remember back in the 70s when I was going to school it was. a large construction site.

[@lynncook1281]

Demolished it for David Jones then became Westfield .I worked in both Grace Bros in the late seventies then DJs .

[@nr1785]

Before it was overcrowded too.

[@lauchlanguddy1004]

Bondi from the South before Markam did some dodgy deal and sold off the public land donated to us for a rich mega development, allowed the developers to dump the demolition spoil straight onto the beach. I bet you can still find housebricks there. they closed and sold off halfway houses and ensured the rich glitz, souless rubbish would take over.

RIP Jimi Appleton

[@bondihistory]

@@supervidere7 🙏

[@bondihistory]

Yes the old church gone!

[@lauchlanguddy1004]

it was a good neighbourhood, good days and good times, pile of garbage now, feels like a glitzy glass white shoe drugs and money brothel. Was a very human place with everyone from the bottom to the top and from al oler, locals, tourists whoever.
