In March 2007, Waverley Council started proceedings to evict a hermit from a site overlooking the beach. Jhyimy “Two Hats” Mhiyles came to the beach during the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Since then he has become something of a local celebrity for his lifestyle and poetry recitals to visitors. Residents and tourists put together a petition entitled “save the caveman” of which allowed Jhyimy to continue residing but under certain rules.
This Bondi Beach themed trivia is in order of my first of many trips to the famous beach.
