An iconic photo showing true Aussie spirit during the emergency: Bondi Surf life saver Jackson Doolan was spotted running barefoot from Tamarama to Bondi to help out with medical supplies after the incident. An onlooker captured this iconic moment and shared the following caption: “We’re all OK fam. Heard the shots but thought it was just fireworks … Never thought something like this would happen in Australia let alone in Bondi. Targeting innocent ppl enjoying a sunny day with their families is cowardice. So sad for all the victims. Thinking of all the ppl affected, all of the first responders and bystanders who helped. Saw this lifeguard running all the way from Tama with his first aid kit, what a legend.” Others praised Doolan’s action as “Bravery personified … running into danger – barefoot”, while another commented “That image is my Australia. An Aussie running to help another Aussie. Standing ovation.” Picture: alexandra_2026/Instagram
