Australian English for a sunbather — someone who lies in the sun specifically to get a tan or simply to soak up warmth. The term reflects the Australian preference for active-sounding compound words, turning sunbathing into something more vigorous-sounding: 'baking' rather than merely 'bathing.' Sunbakers are a fixture of Australian beach culture, and the word itself carries a laid-back, summery vibe that fits the context perfectly.
The beach was lined with sunbakers by nine in the morning, every last one of them ignoring the slip-slop-slap reminders.
