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.

Spring? So they tell us

The first day of Spring. So they say.  It felt more like High Summer.  The thermometer hit 35 degrees in a sunny corner this afternoon.    The morning began with heavy fog lifting off the ice.








 The sun soon began to burn its way through the mist.




Over at Dwight, the rivers have met in the middle of the bay. That is the narrow blue line you can see across the picture.
The earliest date for Ice Out in our bay is March 31st.  We think this year will see that record tumble.  The ice is black. Fragile.  Barely enough to support a Canada goose.   The land is drying up right in front of our eyes.  It is a little un-nerving, seeing crocus in bloom, plants poking up through the ground, puddles evaporating and realizing it is still March. 
This weather should be putting people in the mood for Summer!

  1. It's not a good thing, the early melt.
    Our sugar shacks have had limited production.
    The grasses are at risk for fires, too.
