Bondi Junction
The area sprang up as a result of Oxford Street (then South Head Road) being laid in 1811. It continued to grow with each new transport development until it too became the transport hub that it continues to be today. The junction was home to many early industries such as Henry Hough’s windmill which produced cereal products, a soap candle works, the Waverley Brewery, a dairy and a Boot Factory. It has always been a popular residential and convenient one-stop shopping precinct and has recently benefited from extensive modernisation.
A wide variety of architectural styles from elegant Victorian terraces, Federation homes, weatherboard cottages and modern high-rise apartments. There is a wide choice of accommodation in surrounding suburbs such as Bondi, Bronte, Tamarama, Woollahra and Edgecliff.
