A photograph of mounted police officers patrolling Sydney s famous Bondi Beach has left locals fuming.
The picture, posted to Facebook on Thursday, shows two uniformed officers side-by-side on their horses on the beach s promenade - having left a trail of horse manure behind them.
The issue has previously sparked anger from locals with one resident even confronting then-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull as he walked along the beach in 2018 - telling him Bondi Beach was not a horse toilet .

The spreading of coronavirus misinformation by government MPs is a threat to public health and should be called out by senior officials, health experts say.
Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack and Health Minister Greg Hunt on Tuesday refused to criticise Liberal MP Craig Kelly after he posted the results of a study that said forcing children to wear face masks was akin to child abuse on Facebook.
The German study, which has not been peer-reviewed, examined the impact of mask-wearing for children and allegedly found many suffered headaches and impaired learning.
Health experts have said that, if the spread of misinformation was left unchecked, it would undermine crucial trust in Australian public health officials and could hamper efforts to smother the virus.

Churning through the journalist and biographer s four-part study of the early life and political ascent of the 36th US president is a rite of passage for anyone interested in the pursuit of power. Charting Johnson s progress from boyhood in the Texas Hill Country in the early years of the 20th century to the pinnacle of politics from 1963 to 1969, the books make up an unfinished series already spanning about 3000 pages.
