Thousands of people have packed beaches across Sydney as temperatures rise above 30C, with many set to close in the coming hours.
It is a public holiday in NSW, and the crowds have raised concerns about whether social distancing requirements are being followed.
Pictures show Bondi and Coogee in Sydney's eastern suburbs crowded with people, while at Clovelly people appear to be more spaced out on the concrete.
Waverley Council has warned that Bondi Beach is set to close as it is almost full.
"If people continue to come to Bondi Beach and crowds grow further, restricted access to the sand is likely to be implemented within the next hour 2-3pm," the council said in a statement.
"If you haven't left for the beach yet, please rethink your trip and check on capacity later in the day."

Further south, Cronulla Beach and all other Shire beaches are nearly full.
The beaches are at level two, which means they have not quiet reached capacity. Every 45 minutes there is an announcement telling people to social distance.
In the Royal National Park near Wollongong the popular Wattamolla Beach has reached capacity, so the road in has been closed. Nearby Garie Beach has also reached capacity so Garie Road is closed.
