A father-and-son team toting long-barelled guns shot and killed 15 people including a 10-year-old girl at Sydney's Bondi Beach, authorities said Monday, labelling it an antisemitic terrorist attack on a Jewish festival.

The shooting at Australia's most famous surf beach on a blue-skied Sunday sent waves of panic through terrified crowds at a tourist hotspot that encapsulates the country's love of the sea.

The youngest victim was a 10-year-old girl who died in a children's hospital, police said. The oldest was 87.

Another 42 people were hospitalised, including two police officers.

The morning after the killing, a grassy hill overlooking Bondi Beach was still strewn with discarded items from people fleeing, including a camping table and blankets, an AFP journalist at the scene said.
