it's so nice just to shot for yourself once in a while
i saw this homless guy between bondi beach and tamarrama
This homless guy i admire though he has great taste in esoteric decorative items which he has methodically collected and arranged to suit the environment and he has made himself at home on bondi prime real estate.

Apparently the police let him alone even though he is camping in 'government' property... I think he adds a bit of color to the area.. But then you wouldn't want too many around in Bondi...or would you ?? :shock:

Mostly, the correct term is "backpacker", and you may find them, serving, at just about any restaurant in the area.

OZ a year or so back a block of land about 200 metres from this guy and from memory about 135m2 sold for $3.5M, so he hasn't placed himself in too bad a spot! Position, position, position
