More than 30 molotov cocktails and crates of rocks were found during a rooftop search in Sydney's southern suburbs last night as the city endured a second consecutive night of race-related violence.
The stockpile was discovered at south Maroubra, not far from where a mob smashed car windows on Sunday.
Cricket bats, rocks and iron bars were also confiscated by police monitoring about 100 people who gathered near Maroubra beach.
Rocks and flares were thrown at police trying to disperse the group, and a female constable was injured when a projectile struck her leg.
Police were also hit with projectiles as a crowd of about 100 people gathered for a second night in Brighton-le-Sands, in Sydney's south.
Seven people were injured, 11 men were arrested and cars and shops were trashed as a new wave of unrest hit the city overnight in apparent reprisal attacks for Sunday's race riot at Cronulla, where alcohol-fuelled mobs chased and bashed people of Middle Eastern appearance.
The trouble began last night when a group of 200 mostly Muslim men gathered at Lakemba Mosque, in Sydney's south-west, apparently after rumours that an attack on the building was imminent.
Two police cars were damaged and rubbish bins were thrown at shopfronts as officers attempted to control the crowd.
A family was forced to move out of their apartment after their five-month-old son narrowly escaped being injured when a bottle was thrown through their apartment window, shattering the glass.
At Cronulla, about 50 men arrived in cars last night before rampaging through the beach community, smashing car windows and shopfronts with baseball bats.
Gunshots were heard near the Northies Hotel, opposite north Cronulla beach, where some of the worst violence was seen on Sunday.
Six people were arrested at Cronulla and on the Kingsway, in nearby Caringbah, after shops and vehicles were attacked.
Two men and three youths were arrested at Maroubra beach after police discovered a replica pistol in the bushes.
Police said the injured included a Bexley couple attacked as they left a restaurant in Caringbah about 10pm (AEDT).
A 35-year-old Lansvale man suffered head injuries and severe facial bruising after being attacked at a youth hostel at Caringbah. He was taken to Sutherland hospital in a stable condition.
A 45-year-old Cronulla man suffered broken ribs and head injuries when he was attacked as he put his rubbish bin out on the street.
A 51-year-old Woolwooware man suffered a broken arm after he was attacked with a baseball bat at Cronulla.
Details of the seventh person's injuries could not be confirmed.
Police are braced for further violence after new text messages, including one declaring war between Sydney's Middle Eastern youths and Australians, began circulating.
The new messages follow a round of similar ones sent last week, calling for retaliation after an attack on surf lifesavers at Cronulla on December 3.
One of the new messages congratulates Australians for the fight they put up against the Lebanese at Cronulla during Sunday's riots, and called for more attacks.
"We'll show them! It's on again Sunday," The Australian newspaper reported the message said.
Another warned of retaliation from the Middle Eastern groups.
"The Aussies will feel the full force of the Arabs as one - 'brothers in arms' unite now..." it read.
Another called for "straight up WAR. The leb's/wogs won't stand for this."
Police have formed a task force to try to prevent a repeat of Sunday's riots, which have been condemned by NSW Premier Morris Iemma.

Aussies don't take sh*& from nobody.
Scary stuff.
Rioters,no matter what their cause,should be dealt with swiftly.
THink the Aussies need help?
Ah, yes the Religion of Peace at work again. The Arabs in any civilized country are a fifth column lying in wait to strike. The US needs to deport the illegal arabs we have here, and not let any more in legally or otherwise. We also need to set up internment camps for the enemy aliens living among us.
So basically, every news service is pointing out what animals and barbarians these white guys are. But what they're not asking or investigating is WHY these people are rioting, something they devoted all kinds of time too in the French riots. The news didn't even want to point out the nationality of the French rioters.
So what is the lesson here? And why has it come to this point?
For the first couple words, I thought the story was about Los Angeles and the Tookie case.
Exactly, which is a point many here seem to be missing. Mindless violence is mindles violence, no matter who's perpetrating it.
It was dealt with, but never the less, a clear strong loud message was sent to the muslim community that they will not get away with the stuff the muslims in France did, nor will they get away with trying to stake out "turf".
This is the best possible outcome if you ask me, no serious damage, but huge and overwhelming numbers show up in the muslim areas and let them know the limits of their acceptance.
Note the passive voice construction. Who is actually performing the described action?
I thought this was going to be about LA.
Wherever there are "Middle Eastern groups" (aka Muslims), there's violence.
It's uncanny.
I have a whole new respect for those Aussies!
"Who is actually performing the described action?"
If they're being true to form, it certainly isn't the Anglo Aussies, or race would have been mentioned in the very first sentence. In MSM codespeak on this, no race = Muslim.
It will be in about 8 hours.
No, rioting is good when it forces local government to get off it's butt and take care of a bunch of rape gangs and thugs that have no respect for the law. This isn't a bunch of turds that just want a new TV......
