Bondi Beach was a working class suburb throughout most of the twentieth century.
A major factor in Bondi's seedy image was the fact that Sydney's Water Board maintained an untreated sewage outlet not far from the north end of the beach, resulting in the term 'Bondi Cigar' - a somewhat exaggerated reference to human faeces floating in on the tide.
Bondi Junction, a neighbouring suburb and commercial centre.
Bondi Junction station is the eastern terminus of the Eastern Suburbs railway.
With the extension of the tram line to Bondi and Charing Cross/Bronte later in the decade, the term Bondi Junction was coined referring to the junction of the Bondi and Bronte tram lines at the corner of the now Oxford St and Bronte Rd.
The Bondi Junction Bypass, unlike the railway, was constructed quickly, opening in January 1979.
