With much of the country under lockdown restrictions, laughs seem to be few and far between. But we had to have a giggle at this story from the NSW daily presser this week.
Two men sunbathing naked on a beach on the South Coast, 40km south of Sydney CBD, had to be rescued by police after being startled by a feral deer.
NSW Police sent a helicopter to search for the naked pair who had ran into dense bushland in the Royal National Park and became lost.
The men called for assistance at around 6pm on Sunday and had to be rescued from the Royal National Park at Otford.
“Police Rescue assisted by the State Emergency Service, NSW Ambulance and Polair responded to the area, locating a 30-year-old man naked and carrying a backpack on the walking track near Lady Wakehurst Drive,” police said in a statement.
Police claim a 49-year-old man, who was partially clothed, was also located by rescue services.
To add insult to injury, the pair were fined $1,000 each for disobeying the lockdown imposed on Sydney.
No word yet on any fine issued to the deer.
Let those among us who have NOT been startled by a deer while sunbaking naked and then run into a forest before getting lost requiring police to render assistance cast the first stone. #covid19nsw
