About this listen

 Episode three confronts Bondi's crisis of success. Forty thousand people now crowd one kilometer of sand on peak days, creating chaos that destroys the beach experience for locals and tourists alike. Climate change accelerates coastal erosion, with devastating twenty sixteen storms foreshadowing worse to come. Sea level projections suggest Bondi could lose forty meters of beach by century's end. Development pressures transform the working class suburb into expensive real estate, displacing communities who built Bondi's culture. Water pollution, plastic waste, and ecosystem degradation mount as overtourism strains every resource. Community activists fight to preserve what remains, but the fundamental question haunts every sunset: can paradise survive its own popularity, or will love destroy what's loved?
