Friday 8th June 2007 saw a severe weather warning from the Bureau of Meterology. They warned of winds gusting to 90kph, flash flooding, waves exceeding 5m in the surf zone and significant beach erosion. It was dubbed a 30-year storm, and came as a costly reminder of the devasting power of the natural environment. These photographic images were taken on Wednesday 13th June and illustrate some of the impacts of the storm on Sydneys beaches, and the response of local councils in the clean-up effort.
