Bondi Rescue

Episode 2 (5x2)

: 14, 2010

It's Christmas day on Bondi and road weary travellers, local families, and Christmas orphans come to see Santa make an appearance. Young trainee Maxy also lends a hand by cooking a turkey for his fellow lifeguards. But despite the youngster's best efforts, Box is intent on pranking him with a crafty trick. In the water, a Chinese student is dragged in barely conscious, having been found floating on the bottom. No one knows how long he was underwater, and lifeguards work desperately while the man's girlfriend watches on. This year's Christmas presents are getting a workout in the skate park, but the fun hits a snag when 17-year-old Jack dislocates his shoulder. A dance party in Bondi Pavilion proves popular in the afternoon, but some revellers consume a little too much Christmas spirit. 26-year-old Roy is found in a highly intoxicated state by lifeguards, who must defer to police when Roy is unresponsive to their attention. Just when lifeguards are ready to pack up and go home to their own families, a group of drunken backpackers are spotted in a rip. Head lifeguard Hoppo heads in to stormy seas to recover a drunken Italian barely staying afloat. Celebration, surf, and saving lives it's a very Bondi Christmas.
