Bondi Rescue

Australia day on Bondi, and fog has reduced visibility down to 50 metres, forcing lifeguards to close the beach.

Sydney is in the midst of a heat wave, with temperatures topping 40 degrees. It seems every man and his dog is heading to the coast as lifeguards treat scores of heat-stroke sufferers.

The Boost aerial-surfing contest comes to Bondi, attracting an extra 20,000 people to the beach.
