Hi,
Not sure if you've seen the latest free photography exhibition at the State Library of NSW, however, it's full of daring gymnastics called'beachobatics' on Bondi Beach. 'Bondi Jitterbug: George Caddy and his Camera' is an amazing collection of 60 B&W photos of Bondi, rare film footage of the beach and jitterbug dancing, plus there's even a novelty photo board - where you put your head through the hole and snap a pic of yourself with someone elses body. Also if you have any old 1930s or 40s photos of Bondi Beach you can even upload via Flickr - check it out at the exhibitions page on www.sl.nsw.gov.au

Deb. McBurnie I presume.
Yes, I'm aware of that. I hope to get in there soon to have a look.
I don't usually permit unpaid advertising here, but since SLNSW is on of my favourite cultural institutions I'll make an exception.
Cheers.
