There was flooding and big surf along the New South Wales coast yesterday.
I drove down to Forster last night and thought I would check out the surf this morning. I watched one guy brave the very large waves. He caught a couple and then came in with his surfboard in two pieces – broken.
The storm should have started to fill up the dams north of Sydney.
What do they say about Australia? A land of drought and flooding rains. And we also have some good surf beaches!
