Josef Neidermeier
Josef and his partner Sandra Popovic have lived in Bondi for 10 years. They hail from Germany (but Australian born) and Serbia respectively, but now call this place home. They have two young children (or two little Aussies!).
“It’s the people here who I bump into that make me feel good and want to stick around. It’s the spontaneous interactions with the creatives, the Bondi originals and characters whose stories reach deeper.
It’s the untamed nature with its ever changing sounds, waves and creatures that I can come so close to.
The cruelty and tragedy experienced by our community is still in my bones. I am amazed by the life-affirming people of Bondi, especially those who have been attacked directly in their way of being. I’m excited to contribute to this positive vibe by looking directly into people’s eyes and smile as I want to everyone to feel seen and safe.
And on a lighter note: how great that Mackenzie’s beach is back for an awesome summer!
Thanks to all the creatives, the characters and the creatures of Bondi.”
Grunt by Mr G
This will surprise a lot of people but the dog that has been depicted on the wall of Lamrock Café across the road from Birichina Café since 2015 is not, and never was, Billie. Billie belonged to Bevan, the previous owner of Birichina and was beloved by many locals. We have been mourning the wrong dog.
Grunt, an English Bulldog belonged to friends of the multi-disciplinary artist from New Zealand, Mr G, who used to look after him.

Surf Rescue Briefing
Sunday morning’s session for the this group of volunteers get briefed. The ones out front are going for the annual reaccreditation of their boating skills.
Pools Closed
This was last Friday morning. We didn’t have to be told the pools were closed. That surf was rough.
