Buck Naked

A tale of misadventure in the middle of the lockdown in Sydney, Australia.  As reported in The Guardian:

New South Wales police have fined two men for breaching coronavirus restrictions after they were startled by a deer while sunbathing naked on a beach south of Sydney and ran into the bush, becoming lost and needing to be rescued.

Police sent a helicopter to search for the pair, who were fined $1,000 for breaching public health orders amid a coronavirus outbreak that has seen residents in greater Sydney locked down and banned from travelling outside their local area.

The NSW police commissioner, Mick Fuller, told reporters about the sunbathers at the press conference, saying it was “difficult to legislate against idiots”.


Another report had this to add:

It is not clear exactly what the deers did to startle the sunbathers and cause them to flee into the bush.
