Today, there was a conspicuous police presence on Bondi Beach, with mounted police patrolling the area, moving on people, including the homeless, who were contravening the new social distancing laws which forbid people from being in a public place without a valid reason. These exemptions include shopping, medical appointments, work related tasks and other prescribed activities. Penalties include an $11,000 fine and/or 6 months imprisonment.
There were police helicopter and car patrols along the coastline as well.
Included here are also images of Bronte Beach which has been fenced off from public access.
