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.

I will never ever complain about my son's room again!

'Goodness!

Ok, if they want that in their home, I guess if no children are being subjected to it, fair enough.

How can the council go onto their property and clean it up?

That seems weird to me.

Bit rude them pulling the Thrifty Truck scam thing and then blocking their buisiness with all their stuff.

I hope there is something the law can do about the stuff in public places or on other people's property.

 Easy, they go to court and get it deemed a health and safety hazard to the surrounding residents. 

I'd hate to think what sort of vermin would be living in that rubbish, and the diseases they could carry.

The residents of the house need psychological help, imo

Those women are seriously sick

These people are seriously ill, and deserve some compassion.  But it would be very unpleasant to be living near them.

AUSTRALIA has more than a million hoarders living in secret squalor, a new study has found.

Just imagine living next door to that

It's a very sad situation all round. Imagine feeling compelled to live in that kind of squalor.

My friend has lived next door for about 10 years and speaks to them regularly, obviously there is some kind of mental illness, my friend is a nurse and offers them support unlike most of the other neighbours.

your friends offers of support don't seem to have been effective...
