Bondi Beach by Maureen Barry

Bondi Beach, Sydney, Christmas Day Rave. Head down to the beach in your minimal cozzie to prance and shout to the hypnotic beat - wear your plastic glass on a thong round your neck and hold it out for a refill of tepid beer or wine squirted from a nozzle. If it all becomes too much head into the surf for the sobering thrill of catching the big one. Maureen Barry
