Shocking discovery in Bondi leaves local woman gagging – see what vile act is infesting this popular Aussie spot!

Bondi Beach, with its golden sands and turquoise waters, is often seen as a jewel in Sydney's crown. It's a place where locals and tourists alike flock to soak up the sun, surf the waves, and enjoy the laid-back lifestyle. However, a recent and rather unsavory issue has been tarnishing the reputation of this iconic Australian hotspot.


Julia Sakr, a Bondi resident and dog owner, has taken to social media to voice her disgust over a recurring and distasteful problem plaguing the streets of Bondi – public defecation. In a candid TikTok video, Ms Sakr expressed her horror at repeatedly finding human feces during her walks with her fluffy white dogs. The situation has become so dire that she's had to clean the waste from her pets' fur more times than she can count on her fingers.

The act of public pooping, as it's been termed, has been a thorn in the side of many Bondi residents. Ms Sakr's dogs, attracted to the waste as if it were a 'delicacy', have made her all too familiar with the issue. She notes that the 'public poopers' seem to be strategically choosing gutters for their deeds, using the kerb as a makeshift seat.


The question on everyone's mind, including Ms Sakr's, is why Bondi has become a hotspot for such a disgusting act. She speculates that early-morning joggers might be the culprits, as the evidence suggests the incidents occur at times when the streets are empty, and the urgency of the situation implies a lack of planning.

The community's response to Ms Sakr's video has been one of shared frustration and disbelief. Some commenters have even witnessed runners in the act, suggesting that the physical exertion might bring on a sudden and powerful urge. Others recall that public pooping has been an issue in Bondi for years, with some leaving the suburb to escape it.

The phenomenon of 'poo joggers' is not unique to Bondi. In the past, similar incidents have been reported across Sydney, prompting discussions about the motivations behind such behavior. Clinical psychologist Dr Grant Brecht has suggested that some individuals may find the act thrilling, while others might be struggling with mental health or gastrointestinal problems.


Regardless of the reasons, public defecation is a serious offense in New South Wales. It's classified as offensive conduct, and those caught can face up to three months in jail, a fine of $660, or on-the-spot fines issued by the police.

For the residents of Bondi, this issue is more than just a nuisance; it's a health hazard and a blight on their community. It's a stark reminder that even in the most picturesque locations, social issues can lurk just around the corner. It's crucial for the community and local authorities to address this problem head-on, ensuring that Bondi remains a clean and welcoming destination for all.

It is so typical of the times & people nowadays, they don't give a shit( sorry!) about the environment or the risks to our health. They all think it's NIMBY and don't care about anything or any one else. The disgusting creatures that do this, if caught, should be made to lick it up, they won't do it again!
 
While in Europe in one country we witnessed a woman who took a dump in a park flowerbed in front of people and passing cars and in another country a man just stepped over a storm water drain and relieved himself while people were walking past. Wonder if these visitors from that part of the world are visiting Bondi
 
Maybe they should build an ablution building that the Council can clean in the early hours of the morning. It could be used by locals or tourists to Bondi. Have never been there so I'm not familiar with what amenities might already exist.

I'm not sure why Bondi has the title of one if the best beaches . There are far more better beaches including Bronte and Clovelly Beach.

There are so many Cameras around Bondi I'm amazed they haven't caught these disgusting people.

People who walk dogs need to carry a poop bag , maybe these people need to also carry a poop bag

It's amazing how little toilets there are around there. You only have one with the change room and that's closed after a certain time
 
I'm pretty sure it would've been Waverly council, where each morning they'd have a rake system behind a tractor where they swept/raked Bondi beach. The family who lived at the back of our place in Lidcombe, in the western subs., of Sydney, they had 2 sons, &, with my brother & self, their dad would drive us to Bondi beach for about 5/6 hours. He'd leave us there whilst he went cutting lawns with another guy. We were in the ages of 12-14 at the time. Quite a lot of yesteryear moons ago.

After the raking etc., of the beach, we'd do a search & find heaps of silver & copper coins. That certainly paid for our lunches we bought. We could then save our own pocket money which we had. Consequently, we had many a great day at, &, on Bondi beach.
