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 ?
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.
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.
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.
That was my stomping ground 50 60&70s was working class suburb
With working class pubs and great “ Sheila’s”
Top days back then

Before it was overcrowded too.
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.
Thanks, yes gentrification well and truly changed the old days

Not sure about it being moved, interesting the church was moved for progress?
Demolished mid to late 60's, watched it coming down on way to school
