Bondi Beach
THE TAKE
On 6 February 1938 it was thirty-five thousand people and forty degrees, and then three or four waves hit in a row and pulled two hundred bathers off a sandbank. Lifesavers rescued or resuscitated over two hundred and fifty people and five drowned. They call it Black Sunday and it is why the flags exist.
WHY IT’S WORTH IT
1The red and yellow flag system came out of what happened here in 1938.
2The north end is calmer and almost nobody tells visitors that.
3The coastal path south starts at the far end.
