There were four or five events in Sydney for the first night of Hanukah. In 2024 we went to an event at Dover Heights, but parking was a nightmare. We decide on Bondi (where parking is also a nightmare). Five of us my mum, husband, son (3), daughter (one-and-a-half) and I pile into the car. We walk past the Christmas markets at Bondi beach, looking for the festival.

My target was just to take the gun from him, and to stop him from killing a human being's life and not killing innocent people, he said. I know I saved lots, but I feel sorry for the lost. Ahmed's stunning heroism gained widespread attention after dash cam footage showed him jumping from behind a parked car onto one of the gunmen's backs, eventually wrenching the gun from the assailant's hands.

As he stood silently facing the waves on the Bondi shoreline, arm in arm with nearly 1,000 other lifesavers, Lockie Cook let himself feel the pain of the community's most traumatic week in living memory. I feel like that guard's just dropping, he said. Surf lifesavers gathered in their hundreds on Saturday morning to observe two minutes' silence and remember those killed in Sunday's attack on a Hanukah festival.

When I was relocating to Sydney in September, I chose to make a home in Bondi Beach because of its sunny disposition.

Grok's track record is spotty at best. But even by the very low standards of xAI, its failure in the aftermath of the tragic mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia is shocking.

Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach sports a sweeping, kilometer-long curve of golden sand, between two headlands, lashed by surf waves. What makes this Eastern Beaches wonder even more unusual is it's an urban affair, combining swimming and surfing with big-city buzz. Locals love it, tourists flock here, and Bondi's massive on Instagram. Even on crowded summer weekends, you'll find a spot on the shore or lawns fringing the beach (there are barbecues at the northern reserve).
