Bondi is Australia 's most famous beach and the nearest ocean beach to the centre of Sydney, only eight kilometres distant. The Surf Life Saving Club dates from 1906, only four years after the ban on daylight bathing in urban areas was lifted in Sydney, and it is one of the country's oldest. During the Olympic Games, a huge stadium was constructed here, on the beach itself, for the playing of the beach volleyball competition, and then dismantled afterwards, as the people of Bondi did not want it there.
