Interesting discussion this, used to spend a bit of time in NSW( work wise).
The society up there is very divided, can see both ponts of view here.
Lets just say, I wouldnt go and swim at Bondi on a Sunday afternoon.
Have a friend( female
) who lives at Bondi, shes barred the beach area at weekends, too scared .
Sad thing is that Bondi is Australias ""signature beach "" and locals are too scared to swim there ???
they have got bigger problems than you all think!
