Michael and Romeo Mahoney Loving the Bubble
Take one guess what first drew us to these two. Sorry Michael!
Michael and Romeo were enjoying some time down by the beach with their dog Felix when we met them.
“My attachment to Bondi started 15 years ago. I found my way here from the Sunshine Coast. I never had an interest in living in Sydney but fell in love with the place and never left.
These days my partner and I have a local BNB business, purchased our dream home in the backstreets of Bondi Beach and are raising our son in this wonderful community.
I met my fiancée here, and after both finding this slice of paradise from other parts of the world, we’ve laid our roots here in Bondi.
We’ve certainly embraced living in the bubble.
It’s such a privilege to live in a place that people from all over the world come to visit. And we get immense joy from hosting those coming to experience Bondi for themselves.
We’ve recently become parents for the first time. Every day is so special and exciting with our baby boy Romeo.
Exploring Bondi through a new lens is such a thrill. We’re so excited about the future and all the wonderful things we’ll get to experience with him.
Bondi is such a great place to have kids and we’re falling in love with Bondi all over again!”
Jacob and Willy
These two strong silent types were visiting from Brisbane. The came down for the Rugby League World Cup game between Australia and New Zealand last week.

You can get a copy from Gertrude & Alice on Hall Street or online HERE.
Thongs Give-Away
People love a freebie. On Saturday Archies thongs set up a kiosk on the grass above the beach from where they were giving away 2,000 pairs. The queue was long and people had travelled from afar. We spoke to a woman who had come from Gladesville.
Save the Whales Rally
At the same time as the 1000s were queuing for their free thongs a small but valiant group were making their way across the beach protesting krill over-fishing (for oil) that deprive whales and other Antarctic wildlife of their primary food source.
