First Edition
The Bundeena Book, documenting the early history and colourful characters of Bundeena, was first published in 1980 by Les Philpott and the Bundeena Book Committee.Â
The book has been a much read and treasured chronicle of Bundeena's history and heritage, but is now very difficult to find, apart from the single copy in Sutherland Shire Library. You can, however, find a digital version of the First Edition here:
