Oprah Stuns Bondi Locals With Bookstore Visit

Oprah Winfrey recently made an unexpected appearance at Sydney's Gertrude & Alice bookstore in Bondi, much to the delight of locals. The media mogul, who had been dining in the area, was gifted two Australian books by the store's owner, Jane Turner, before deciding to visit personally.

Inside the family-run establishment, Winfrey spent approximately ten minutes engaging with customers and staff. She perused the shelves and purchased additional books, including works by authors she had previously interviewed or read. The visit highlights the bookstore's charm and its appeal to well-known personalities.

Gertrude & Alice has a reputation for attracting celebrities, having previously hosted Nigella Lawson. Recognized by National Geographic as a top global bookstore, the establishment, run by Jane Turner and her children, is known for its literary events and welcoming atmosphere for readers and creatives.
