Bikini Parade in Australia Sets World Record

More than 350 Bikini-clad women in Australia have set a new Guinness World Record for the largest bikini parade, shattering the previous record of 331  set in the Cayman Islands last year.

The record was set at Surfers Paradise on Australia's Gold Coast. Local councillor Susie Douglas told the Herald Sun that the event was a great way to show off the attractions of the Coast.

"Today, 361 girls walked through the counter, but there had to be a few disqualifications because they were not wearing bikinis," Australian Guinness World Record adjudicator Chris Sheedy told the Herald Sun before officially declaring the record broken.

"Unfortunately for the Cayman Islands they have had their record smashed because 357 walked through the count today.'\
