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.

A Freckle on the Sun

We tried to see the famous Transit of Venus across the Sun. We were all geared up with welder's lenses and a pin-hole camera.

We were defeated, sadly, but an overcast sky.  So, if you were with us, looking hopefully at the cloud cover hoping for a quick peak, here's what you might have seen.  The best description I heard was that it looked like "a freckle on the Sun."

Sadly, for those of us who were unable to witness this 'live', we have to wait until 2117 for the next chance.   Which, on a more positive note, would give you LOTS of time to vacation at Bondi Village and enjoy our Dark Skies program...
