Friday 8th June 2007 saw a severe weather warning from the Bureau of Meteorology. 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 devastating power of the natural environment. These photographic images were taken on Wednesday 13th June 2007 and illustrate some of the impacts of the storm on Sydney's beaches. Features include a ~15-18ft vertical scarp in South Narrabeen resulting from enormous storm demand, and exposure of stormwater pipes from Collaroy to Narrabeen.
