Christmas Day revelers vandalized one of Sydney’s most beautiful beaches, leaving a trail of discarded debris, shoes, underwear and drug paraphernalia.
Backpackers celebrating at Bronte Beach in Sydney’s luxurious eastern suburbs have been blamed for the shocking scenes faced by locals on Boxing Day.
The nearby grassy picnic preserve was transformed into a garbage monstrosity, with abandoned clothing, shoes, towels, and blankets littering the sea of trash everywhere.

Piles of empty nitrous oxide gas cylinders, colloquially called ‘nangs’, were also seen among the huge amount of rubbish.
Gas canisters, typically used in whipped cream dispensers, can produce a rapid and intense high when inhaled.
Elsewhere, bottles of beer, water and soft drinks were left behind along with abandoned food and drink containers and items of clothing, including pairs of high-end sneakers and sunglasses.
Underpants, T-shirts, backpacks, balls, chip bags, and shopping bags were also strewn throughout the park in an ugly sight that stretched to the horizon.
Thousands of revelers flocked to the spectacular venue on Christmas Day.
Boxer shorts, T-shirts, backpacks, chip bags, and carry-on bags were also strewn throughout the park in an ugly sight that stretched to the horizon.
It sparked fury among the locals, one of whom lashed out at the partygoers.
“Appalling, such disrespect, fines should be imposed,” they wrote.
“This is absolutely disgusting and absolutely poor,” another wrote on the Bondi Local Loop Facebook group.
One added: ‘Disgusting… Bronte is such a beautiful place. Many people come to enjoy this beautiful beach.
‘Some people have no respect. They only know how to throw a great party and never know how to clean up their mess.

Elsewhere, bottles of beer, water and soft drinks were left behind along with abandoned food and drink containers and items of clothing, including pairs of high-end sneakers and sunglasses.
‘Shame, shame, shame on all of you who left behind all your belongings and trash.’
Another raged: ‘That’s why the locals hate backpackers who don’t respect their playground. Shame on all the irresponsible who left that mess.
‘The council will be forced to charge everyone who doesn’t have a council fee to use the beach. Shame.’
But one insisted: “Yesterday I sat there, it was full of Ozzies, not just backpackers… clueless.”

Litter shaming comes two years after a police riot squad officer broke up an illegal Christmas party on the same beach, 3 km south of the more famous Bondi Beach.
Up to 300 people, believed to be mostly British and Irish backpackers, had gathered on the reserve for a huge party despite the Covid restrictions in place at the time.
One man was arrested when police swooped in to break it up around 5 p.m. fearing it would turn into a pre-vaccine superspreading event.
Six years earlier, nearby Coogee Beach was overrun by thousands of drunken revelers on Christmas Day 2016, leaving behind a staggering 15 tons of rubbish.
Waverley Council started the big clean up early on Boxing Day
Countless pairs of name-brand sneakers were among the trash left behind.
Lifeguards had to sound the shark alarm three times to pull bathers out of the water and try to prevent any of the drunks from drowning.
Randwick City Council called the incident “disgraceful” and, in response, banned alcohol on the beach for the entire summer.
“The public outrage over the devastation of parks and the beach on Christmas Day has been phenomenal,” Mayor Noel D’Souza said at the time.
“The clear message we have received is that we need to return the beach and nearby parks to all people to enjoy peacefully and safely.”
