DESCRIPTION
Variant titleA Waverley Library Local History FactsheetAuthor/CreatorWaverley LibraryContentsBondi Road is one of Waverley’s earliest roads, constructed in a straight line from Old South Head Road to what was quaintly described as ‘the seashore’.
As early as 1859 Council campaigned for government funding to build a road to Bondi Beach. The funding was granted, and a road from Old South Head Road to the beach was built. The street was initially known as Government Road, then Waverley Street. In 1884-1885 the simpler name of Bondi Road was adopted. TypeFactsheetCollectionLocal History Factsheets
