Sydney takes a battering from storms

image

Sydney is taking a real battering at the moment. It hasn’t stopped raining HARD in 2 days. Worst storm in rain and wind strength in 5 years they say. 3 people are dead so far from flooding.

The city cannot cope with this much rain on its streets. Broken umbrellas lay abandoned  on the streets, girls screaming from the rain, sirens from ambalances every 5 minutes.

Outside of Sydney people are without power, generators are sold out and there are waiting lists for the next delivery. .

Outside the Cousin Jacks store the large umbrella got torn down by the wind narrowing missing people.

We stopped at a small village called ‘Fishermans Paradise’ and played on the rope swing with the local kids.

On the way back it was so shallow we grounded out a few times on the sandy bottom.

In the afternoon Sanna and I walked over to Green Island which is only accessible over the black rocks at low tide. The island felt nice and remote, no evidence of other people on the island.
