About 100 paddleboarders and surfboard riders have poured into the surf to honour the six victims of the Bondi stabbing attack.
It's a setting best known for its throng of tourists, busy beaches and families out for the weekend.
But as the sun rose on Tuesday morning, a more sombre scene took shape as the paddle boarders formed a heart in the ocean to remember the six lives lost.
Organiser Vicky Austin said 12 local clubs came together to say goodbye at the ocean, a focal point for the community.
'Everyone's feeling the after effects of Bondi Junction and it was just a way for us as a community to come together in solidarity in the ocean we all love,' she told ABC TV.

'We play, we compete, and we come here for solace and I think it's our way to say goodbye to those that we have lost.
'It's solidarity and mateship and what we're all about.'
Six people died and four remain in hospital after 40-year-old Joel Cauchi went on a stabbing spree at Westfield Bondi Junction in Sydney's east on April 13.
