Rex Dupain's photographs in "The Colour Of Bondi" rise above postcard cliche thanks to the visual intelligence behind them and Dupain's special sensibility - classical but not aloof; sensuous but equally interested in characters, relationships, stories;candid but not falsely dramatised.
Dupain shows us every aspect of Bondi and gives us all of the various subcultures that distinguish it: the skaters at The Bowl, the backpackers, the divers, the young dads and mums, the surf lifesavers and the nippers, the swimmers and the surfers of every age.
