A pair of nude sunbathers have been fined by NSW cops for breaching Covid-19 orders after they became lost in bushland due to being startled by a deer.
Police say around 6pm yesterday the men called for assistance after becoming lost in bushland during a visit to a remote beach south of Sydney.
When police and search and rescue arrived at the area, they found a 30-year-old man naked and carrying a backpack on a walking track near Lady Wakehurst Drive.
Soon after, a partially-clothed 49-year-old man was also found.
"Unbelievably, we saw two men 'sunbaking' naked on the South Coast," NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said.
"They got startled by a deer, ran into the national forest, national parks and got lost. Not only did they require assistance from SES and police... They also got a ticket."
Both men were issued $1000 fines for breaching the current public health order prohibiting those from Greater Sydney travelling outside the region.
New South Wales today recorded 18 Covid-19 cases, all but one linked to the current Bondi cluster.
