Storms of ’74

1974 Eastcoast Australia was belted by a huge intense low that left a trail of coastal damage in its wake. One of the worst affected was North Cronulla which saw huge swells tear up the promenade and original wall. I remember surfing when the ocean bottom was still lined with random huge chunks of concrete and steel girders for many months afterwards.
