A shark sighting has prompted a brief closure of Sydney's famous Bondi Beach.
A warning was issued after the shark was sighted at around 7.15am local time, Waverley Council said in a statement.
The beach was evacuated until lifeguards were able to chase the shark off with a jetski and it has since reopened.
Surfers and swimmers were returning to the water just after 9am local time (11am NZT), a surfcam shows.
