Eastern suburbs school leaver forced to cut her Schoolies Week short after discovering there’s no Sundays Bondi in Surfers Paradise

HOLIDAY HELL: It was meant to be the party of a lifetime: sun, sand and fun with her closest friends after finishing the HSC.

But for one recent graduate of Kambala school in Sydney’s east, Schoolies Week on the Gold Coast has ended in tears, only hours after it began.

“I just assumed there’d be at least one Sundays Bondi in Surfers Paradise,” Maddie Grafton-Burns told our reporter.

“How can a place call itself ‘Paradise’ without having those cinnamon scrolls? It’s an absolute joke!”

The 18 year old’s friends attempted to console her by suggesting alternative micro bakery-options, but Ms Grafton-Burns was having none of it.

“I packed my bags and got the first flight home,” she says.

“I couldn’t see any point in staying there.”

Her parents agree.

“We support Maddie’s decision to return home,” says her mother.

“It’s important that she feels comfortable and has access to the amenities she’s accustomed to.”
