    From John Ruffels on Facebook

    On your other site, which shows old photos requiring comments and verification, you have one of “Bondi”. It is actually of shop-fitters working on the Manly wharf, not Bondi at all. The Council logo displayed on a nearby lamp post in the photo would be of no help, since Bondi and Manly were under Councils with similar initials. (I think?).

    Thanks John, the photo caption has been updated.
