Abstract
This article surveys book-length writing for a general readership about one of Australia’s most well-known and popular beaches, Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Having located narratives about Bondi Beach in a range of popular fiction and non-fiction writing, this investigation uses
thematic analysis to examine these publications. Ten themes were identified in this analysis, revealing not only the wide range of topics related to Bondi Beach that are of interest to writers but also a series of tensions across these representations, as well as what is missing across these
volumes.
