待游玩的人们稍有了倦意，倒是可顺着沙滩到岸边街道上走走。在沿街的小吃店里，你可随意买各类不同馅料与形状的面包。面包里，馅料是用白菜丝、西红柿、火腿、烧肉、还有鲜虾仁、八爪鱼等海产品做的，再涂上各种颜色的酱料，看上去味道十分鲜美可口。有种一尺来长的面包，里面夹有很多馅，价钱是5．5澳元一个，听说只需吃一个就饱。不过悉尼最美味可口的上等佳肴却是悉尼的岩石牡蛎，其次是帕尔美苗昆虫。帕尔美茵昆虫属甲壳纲动物，其样子奇特，但味道极好。
用过了午餐，建议你跟家人或好友沿着邦戴海滩，从起点走到终点。在秋天的悉尼边走、边聊、边思索、边欣赏美景，这真是一份难得的悠闲。整个邦戴漫步大概需要一个多小时，不过走来一点都不累，很多悉尼人还经常带着狗儿一起在这里跑步。
Bondi Beach is synonymous with Australian beach culture， and indeed the milelong curve of golden sand must be one of the bestknown beaches in the world. Big， brash and actionpacked， it，s certainly not the best place for a quiet sunbathesunbathe n.日光浴， 太阳灯浴 and swim， but the sprawling sandy crescent really is a spectacular sight when you first see it as you swoop down the hill of Bondi Road. Redtiled houses and apartment buildings crowd in to catch the view， many of them erected in the 1920s when Bondi was a workingclass suburb.
Although still residential， it has long since become a popular gathering place for backpackers from around the world who turn Christmas Day into a big beach event， though the charm has begun to wear off and many have headed south to Coogee or north to Manly， especially as Bondi is now a favourite with rampaging teens on Friday and Saturday nights.
Beachfront Campbell Parade is both cosmopolitan and highly commercialized， lined with cafés and shops. Much money has recently been spent improving the congested parade， widening the footpaths and landscaping， so that sidewalk dining is now the norm.
Between Campbell Parade and the beach， Bondi Park， always full of sprawling bodies in fine weather， slopes down to the promenade where there are two board rampsramp n.斜坡， 坡道， 敲诈 vi.狂跳乱撞， 敲诈， 蔓延 vt.使有斜面， 敲诈 for rollerblading and skateboarding. The focus of the promenadepromenade
n.散步 v.散步 adj.散步的 is the arcaded， Spanishstyle Bondi Pavilion， built in 1928 as a de luxe changingroom complex and now converted to a community centre hosting an array of workshops， classes and events， from drama and comedy to daytime dance parties and outdoor film festivals. Downstairs in the foyer， photos of Bondi，s past are worth checking out， with some classic beach images of men in 1930s bathing suits， and the adjoining souvenir shopsouvenir shop n.纪念品店 is a haven of oldfashioned Bondi imagery. There，s also an art gallery exhibiting local artists.
On Sunday the Bondi Beach markets (10a.m.～5p.m) in the grounds of the primary school on the corner of Campbell Parade and Warners Avenue facing the northern end of the beach， sells some groovygroovy adj.很帅的， 常规的， 槽的 fashion and jewellery.
Beached at Bondi， below the lifeguard lookout tower， rents out everything from umbrellas， wetsuits， cozzies and towels to surfboards and bodyboards. They also sell hats and sun block and have lockers for valuables.
The Beach
Surfing is part of the Bondi legend， the big waves ensuring that there，s always a pack of damp young things hanging around， bristling with surfboards. However， the beach is carefully delineated， with surfers using the southern end. There are two sets of flags for swimmers and boogieboarders， with families congregating at the northern end near the sheltered saltwatersaltwater adj.盐水的， 海产的 pool (free)， and everybody else using the middle flags. The beach is netted and there hasn，t been a shark attack for over forty years. If the sea is too rough， or if you want to swim laps， a seawater swimming pool at the southern end of the beach under the Bondi Icebergs Club building on Notts Avenue costs 1.
Topless bathing is allowed at Bondi - a long way from conditions right up to the late 1960s when stern beach inspectors were constantly on the lookout for indecent exposure. In fact， so blasé are the attitudes now that every January an irreverent sunset nude surfing competition is held， watched by TV cameras and a huge crowd offering a wry commentary.
Bondi，s Surf Lifesavers
Surf lifesavers are what made Bondi famous and there，s a bronzebronze n.青铜(铜与锡合金)， 铜像 adj.青铜色的 sculpturesculpture n.雕刻， 雕刻品， 雕塑， 雕塑品， ［地理］ 刻蚀 v.雕刻， 雕塑， 刻蚀 of one outside the Bondi Pavilion. The surf lifesaving movement began in 1906 with the founding of the Bondi Surf Life Bathers， Lifesaving Club in response to the drownings that accompanied the increasing popularity of swimming. From the beginning of the colony， swimming was harshly discouraged as an unsuitable barefleshed activity. However， by the 1890s swimming in the ocean had become the latest fad， and a Pacific Islander introduced the concept of catching waves or bodysurfing that was to become an enduring national craze. Although “wowsers” (teetotal puritanical types) attempted to put a stop to it， by 1903 allday swimming was every Sydneysider，s natural right.
The bronzed and muscled surf lifesavers - of both sexes - in their distinctive red and yellow caps are a highly photographed， worldfamous Australian image. Surf lifesavers (members of what are now called Surf Life Saving Clubs， abbreviated to SLSC) are volunteersvolunteer n.志愿者， 志愿兵 adj.志愿的， 义务的， 无偿的 v.自愿 working the beach at weekends， so come then to watch their exploits such as whizzing out in the rescue boats for some practise manoeuvres - or look out for a surf carnival； lifeguards， on the other hand， are employed by the council and work all week during swimming season (yearround at Bondi).
