Bondi hoarders the Bobolas family camp out to protect pile of rubbish

[nero_bolt]

How would you like to be their neighbours or even live within a block of this major health and vermin hazard.  The council and the rate payers just keep on paying over and over to clean up this massive mess.

BONDI hoarders Mary Bobolas and her daughters Elena and Liana are so attached to their rubbish they kept guard over it through the night following an incident involving a good Samaritan, a repossessed truck and the police.

Dressed in black, perched on garden chairs or sleeping on the ground, half hidden by rubbish, the Bobolas family spent a cold Wednesday night watching over the hoard on a grass strip next to a busy intersection in Alexandria

The piles of rubbish are just a fraction of what has been building up for years at the infamous hoarders’ Boonara Ave, Bondi, family home.

The family found itself camped out in Alexandria, 15km by road from their Bondi home, after a rental truck they were using was repossessed.

Since the NSW Court of Appeal approved Waverley Council’s bid to clean up the house in Boonara Avenue, the family has been camping out in the cab of a pantech hired from rental car company, Thrifty.

She doesn't complain or run them down, friendly support to them so they don't feel unwanted in the neighbourhood is my guess.

They could be an eBay success story with all that junk lol

I agree freddie.

My house could pass as a bugalry crimescene. But I am very picky about stuff that can be seen from the street.  If I want to live like a slob ok, but I won't subject others to look at mess around my house

I know that family are sick but imagine the flys, rats, germs and the smell if you lived next door to them.

You could never sell your house either.

Oh that's nice of her.

All the other neighbours would love to get rid of them and their disgusting rubbish hoarding obsession while your friend is giving them friendly support so they don't feel unwanted.

sell the house in Bondi(what would that be worth?)

and buy 5 acres somewhere and collect all the trash you want

Some people only care about money, I have another friend that lives in the same street and they have planted a large tree so they don't get the view.

I think you will find that there is more to this story but I will leave it to your imagination 🙂

Maybe each time the council comes in to clean, the neighbours plant their for sale signs before it accumulates again.

A lot of that just looks like mess. Hoarders may collect rubbish, but they often have it roughly sorted even if the amounts get out of control.
