Lifeguard Stories

When Eleanor 'Ellie' Taylor leaves behind a life shadowed by loss, Bondi becomes her new beginning. A place where saltwater stings but also soothes.

From the laughter of the tower to the roar of the sea, from the TV shoots to personal life, Ellie discovers that every break - in waves, in love, in life holds the power to rebuild. But when her past resurfaces, she must decide if she's ready to swim toward it or let it drift her away. A fan fiction based on the Australian non-fiction TV show Bondi Rescue.
