The term ‘Bondi Junction’ was coined in the late 1800s, when the city’s new steam tram lines were extended to Bondi Beach and Bronte with the junction of the two lines meeting at the corner of what is now Oxford Street and Bronte Road. By 1930, with the subdivision of surrounding suburbs, Bondi Junction had grown into a major commercial and entertainment centre.

Bondi Junction locals enjoy the best of both worlds – they have easy access to transport, shopping and amenities while being surrounded by tranquil parklands and close to some of Sydney’s best beaches.

Besides being home to a fantastic shopping mecca and entertainment, from Bondi Junction you can stroll to world-famous Bondi Beach or Centennial Park or hop on a train or bus into the CBD, which is a mere 6km away.

‘The Junction’, as it’s known to locals, is surrounded by the suburbs of Queens Park, Centennial Park, Bellevue Hill, Woollahra and Bondi, which also have plenty of appeal, but Bondi Junction has its own great restaurants, cafes and bars for when you want to stay close to home.
