The day the waves were...bloody HUGE!

'Allo 'Allo! After a period away from this wonderful site, I am now back and ready to post! I actually have a few posts up my sleeve (which will appear here soon-ish), so bear with me if they seem to be old news to some.

Sunday 9th April....weather report tells us the waves are at an all time high. Some beaches along the north coast were recording waves 9 metres high!!

We had to check it out. Off we drove to Freshwater beach on the Northern Beaches. Even though there was a distinct chill in the air (Yes Jenny, Autumn is finally here) the beach was packed...well actually the beach was deserted, but the dunes and cliffs were packed. Loads of people had decided to do the exact same thing that we had and most had brought cameras to capture the sight.

These photos don't really do it justice, but the waves were awesome. The roar could be heard from miles away and the spray hit our faces even when we stood on the cliff tops!

These waves were about 5 m!

This spray shot up in the air about 10 m! Totally amazing!
