Alex, Corbin and Ruby Forbes

It was such pleasure to meet this family. We were just coming out of the post office and there they were.

“I moved to Bondi 17 years ago when I got my teaching job here [at Bondi Public School]. The draw card for living here back then was the nightlife, the beach, and meeting new people. The draw card for staying here now is the people, and community we are ingrained into. As a keen spear fisher I’ve now got my local favourite spots to catch my family tasty dinners too. The rhythmic swelling and diminishing population that take place in the summer - winter changes was always fascinating, and our social circle has grown and evolved into a huge collection of wonderful friends, now like family here. As a teacher we fear that we may be soon priced out of what feels like our forever home here in Bondi, but we aren’t giving up the good fight yet. Hopefully we can find a way to remain here, and continue contributing to making this wonderful community the best it can be.”

We can’t let them be priced out. Bondi would be the loser if Alex and family have to move away from the ‘hood.
