World's largest budgie smuggler parade to be held in Australia
Australia’s budgie smuggler fans are set enter the Guinness Book of World Records with the world’s largest swimwear parade to be held in Sydney.

The Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) charity expects up to 1000 Sydneysiders clad in budgie smugglers and bikinis to take part in ‘Strut the Streets’ parade.
The charity aims to help increase the number of young indigenous Australians participating in university education through mentoring programs.
The current world record for a single swimwear parade stands at 281 participants and was set in Las Vegas, organised by Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend Holly Madison
Hopes to persuade ordinary Sydneysiders to take part in the event and raise thousands of dollars by charging $50 entry and encouraging sponsorship.
The parade is being held at midday on International Guinness World Records Day - November 12.
