101 Best Beaches Professor Andy Short & Brad Farmer will judge and award one book a week to the best favourite beach story.
Bondi Beach is often considered the birthplace of Australian surfing where a tramway linked the city to the beach in 1884.
Originally the beach was backed by bare sand dunes that blew all the way across to Rose Bay on Sydney Harbour.
It lays claim (along with Manly) to Australia's first surf life saving club, and is arguably Australia's most popular beach.
