Byron Bay locals say damage to the townâs main beach is âthe worst in a generationâ as heavy rain, abnormally high tides and wild surf, combined with long term erosion problems, washed away much of the remaining sand.
Storms have battered a 1,000km stretch of the Queensland and northern NSW coastline for several days with conditions not expected to ease until Tuesday morning. Strong winds and heavy rainfall have caused damage and flash flooding in both states.
Residents had been warned the weather system, which is moving in the opposite direction to a tropical cyclone, would strike with the same intensity as a category one storm.
