The remarkable wind-sculpted sandstone rock formations a short walk south from Bondi beach on the coast walk between Bondi & Coogee via Bronte beach. Sydney, New South, Wales, Australia. ”Bondi” or “Boondi” is an Aboriginal word meaning water breaking over rocks or noise of water breaking over rocks.

Sensual and suggestive in their abstract form and subtle ochre palette the rocks make an exquisite natural sculpture.
