Aussies and nepalese have no fear

Swimmers and surfers at Bondi Beach treated this morning like any other even though effects of the tsunami began to hit the NSW coast from 8.45am (AEDT).
Live cameras at Bondi showed lifesavers ushering people out of the water. All New South Wales and Queensland beaches are closed for today.
Despite the warnings crowds amassed just back from the sand with hopes of witnessing any potential tsunami effects. Others ventured back into the water within minutes of being moved on.
Bondi lifesaver Jacob Waxs said about 100 people were in the water despite being told it was dangerous and that lifesavers had ordered all beaches in New South Wales closed.

"Unfortunately we cannot order people off the beach, we can only advise," he said.

"Initially everybody got out, however, people seem to be going back in and the tsunami warning is still active."

"The surfers here in Bondi will still be out there when there's a shark alarm," he added.
The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre warned people should stay away from the water.
"Anybody who's on the beach or who might be diving in that area or on a boat should be getting out of the water as of now," JATWC spokesman Alasdair (Alasdair) Hainsworth said at 9.40am (AEDT).
Both the Queensland and NSW State Emergency Services issued warnings about the possibility of a tsunami.
The danger area extended from the southern Queensland coast all the way down the New South Wales coast to Gabo Island, Victoria's east Gippsland area as far as Lakes Entrance and around Tasmania from the northern tip of Flinders Island to Low Rocky Point.
"Do not go to the coast to watch the tsunami, as there is the possibility of dangerous, localised flooding of the immediate foreshore," the SES warning states.
"Boats in harbours, estuaries or shallow coastal water should return to shore. Secure your boat and move away from the waterfront. Vessels already at sea should stay offshore in deep water until further advised.
"Please do not be tempted by curiosity, and consider safety first."
