Speaks for itself,but, I was asked to "COVER UP" when sunbathing naked in Manley. Drew quite a crowd when I dressed (very slowly) it usually happens when I undress! not get dressed.

I was surprised to see them "sweeping" for needles in Bondi, is that usual, is it a problem with junkies?
How uncovered where you? Topless is fine but the bottoms have to stay on. Topless only becomes an issue if you are in view from outside the beach if that makes any sense.
Like any majoy city, Sydney does have problems with drugs and Bondi being the mast famous beach in our country it is usually well maintained and kept clean as possible for thousands of locals and even more tourists to enjoy any day of the year.
I have being going to Bondi for years and years and I have never come across one needle on the sand, it is done more for precautionary reasons
