Thousands of people have flocked to Sydney s beaches to celebrate Australia Day as temperatures surge beyond 40C.
Car parks at Balmoral Beach, Clifton Gardens Reserve, Chinamans Beach, Royal National Park and Clontarf Reserve have been closed, with beach goers asked to rethink their plans.
One Twitter user said there was no beachside parking left when they arrived at Balmoral Beach at 6.30am. I had to park in a backstreet. Walked past and had a quick chat with a few people planning on being there all day, just getting in early to reserve a spot, the Twitter user wrote.
All beaches in the Mosman area on the Northern Beaches were almost at capacity by 10am, with the council warning people to stay clear of the area.
A frustrated beachgoer has exposed the double standards of Sydney s coronavirus response after families were banned from using the barbecues at Bondi Beach on Australia Day - but thousands were allowed to sunbathe on the shore.
Michael Brunelli, who appeared on season six of the reality show Married at First Sight, filmed the fenced off grassy knoll and picnic area at North Bondi, in the city s east, on Tuesday. I m going to show you the Bondi logic here, he said. They ve shut down the BBQ area and the hill to prevent crowds.

It is both a privilege and a sad task to write in my column today about a woman I and many others have admired for years, and who now suddenly is taken away. She lived a long life, but even so it feels like she is gone too soon.
That woman was Betty Carter Justis, known locally for her remarkable capabilities as a public servant, and even more for a friendliness and personal grace that embraced the people and community around her with effortless ease.
And if she embraced the people of Greene County, so they embraced her in turn. As Roger Woolsey said to me Tuesday, in terms of the public attitude toward her, Betty could still have been elected circuit court clerk as long as she chose to run, if not for the inevitable declines and frailty that age brings. She served for 16 years before retiring.
