Bondi beach paddle out in honour of Westfield stabbing victims

Sydneysiders have made a sombre early morning tribute to the victims of the Bondi Junction attack on Tuesday morning.

Surf club members have paddled out from Bondi at first light in honour of those injured and killed in the Bondi Junction stabbing attack.

Tuesday’s tribute comes as four patients remain in various hospitals across the city, 10 days on from the attack.

Members of 12 surf clubs from between Bondi and Bronte gathered before dawn Tuesday morning, and paddled into the sea in a sombre mark of solidarity with victims, their families and the wider community.
