[edit] Danger Rating

I have added danger ratings for the beach developed by Surf Life Savers Australia based on an article in the UK Guardian of 22 April, 2002.

removed this way too antecdotal and (self?)-promo-ish paragraph, needs more factual basis and references (gilbert's cyclery gets 3 google hits and all of them are a reference to the business): clarkk 04:01, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

This experience is illustrated by the Droz family who migrated from France last century and established the famous Gilbert’s Cyclery which has become a landmark in the commercial heart of Bondi Beach. Son Chris Droz can still be found holding court at the famous Bondi Hotel regaling friends and tourists with colourful histories of the area and its people.

[edit] Schedule

Text now reads: "Until the mid 1990s the run was held in October, late autumn ...." Wouldn't October be late spring? So I'm not sure if "October" is wrong or "late autumn" is wrong. JamesMLane 01:21, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Bondi icebergs changes - removed material that was far too anedotal and self congratulatory. Otherwise I'd be happy to balance the old material with the fact that the club is currently suffering financially because of an invidous culture of corruption, thievery and incompetant management at all levels.
