Bondi reflects the unique landscapes of Australia, and their public bar is a great place to begin exploring. The spectacular blown glass chandelier, inspired by the sea anemone of the Great Barrier Reef, floats above a classic, hand-tooled Australian bar and weathered Donnybrook sandstone flooring from the South West of Western Australia.

In the café bar, the colors of Australia’s wetlands and rain forests predominate. Their suspended basket seating is inspired by millennia-old Aboriginal fish traps, panels around the café contain Australian grass tree spears and everywhere in the furniture, flooring and even in raw cross-sections behind the bar you'll see and touch the rich red wood of the jarrah, the second-tallest of the giant eucalyptus.

The kitchen bar is inspired by their desert continent’s red centre. The walls hold forty-two tons of raw iron ore mined in the central Western Australian outback. The floors are Sydney bluestone from the Great Dividing Range. The panels suspend spinifex, their desert grass and the main features of the room are full-size recreations in stainless steel of Australia’s ancient and mysterious desert tree, the Boab.
