Caveman



Jimmy Whyles lives on the cliff face just around the headland from Bondi. He's been living here for years but the local council are trying to move him on because, they argue, he's got one of the best views in Sydney and he's not paying for it.

Jimmy Whyles splits local opinion. Some people say the council should leave him alone, he isn't doing any harm. These people take him cups of tea and hot soup when it's cold and he invites them in for a chat.

He's got a good set-up here in the rock; he even has a washing line and an armchair but I'm not sure where he plugs in the fridge.
