In a previous post we covered a devestating East Coast Low that formed off the coast in 1974 named the Sygna Storm” Named after the 53,000-tonne Norwegian bulk carrier Sygna that went aground near Newcastle.. |
The first amazing shot shows the wall of water reaching higher than a telegraph post smashing on the reef that lays just in front of the wall. Richard Quinn … “The photograph was also taken looking down from the quarter deck aprox 50 ft above sea level, so it’s anyones guess how big the sea was”… |
The photograph above show us the aftermath of the waves intrusion. The photograph is very similar to the recent photographs of the June storm damage to the base sent to us by Paul Newman. |
Thank you Russ for sending us these incredible photographs. |
