Bondi Resort Blog

Come on into our Blog for a look at the wonderful world we've got to share! With over 240 hectares (600 acres) of wilderness woodlands surrounding the resort, just ten minutes from Algonquin Park, we feature over 400 metres (1200’) of waterfront and beach; boat rentals; summer hiking trails winding through fields and woods; 20 km. of groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing in winter; access to nearby snowmobile trails for sledders, and a toboggan hill for the young at heart.

The Hungry Bunch







Jim, who has a cottage near Bondi, reads our Blog (thanks, Jim!) We hooked him with the story about the Bigwin Water Tower, and he's been reading ever since.



Recently, he acquired an old photo album. It's labelled "The Hungry Bunch, 1910 - 1911, Lake of Bays."


That's it, that's all... He's trying to dig up some more information about the photos, and to that end, he sent some to our Blog.




We're including a couple here, just in case someone out there (probably along the South Shore, near Glenmount perhaps?) jumps up in excitement, pointing at the screen and shouting "look, there's Uncle Bob!!!"




If you recognize this cottage, or this leaning tree, please let us know. The bridge we've got identified: it's the old one-lane original bridge across the Canal, at Deerhurst. And that's obviously the original Glenmount Hotel..

I'll be adding these photos -- and the others Jim took -- to our Historical slide Show, so you can snoop about in there if they look familiar (or even if they don't) It's a gentle reminder of a time when we worried less about high speed and plasma tv's at the cottage, and more about the sailboats, and firewood, and the good times together.
