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. The photos illustrate aeolian sand in the backing reserves, the accumulation of sand around structures such as the sea-wall and beach access points, the physical removal of seaweed and wash-up onto shore, and the nourishment of North Steyne after the storm event.
