These photographic images were taken on Wednesday 13th June and illustrate some of the impacts of the storm on Sydneys beaches, and the response of local councils in the clean-up effort. The photos illustrate aeolian sand in the backing reserves, the accumulation of sand around structures such as the sea-wall and beach access points, the physical removal of seaweed and wash-up onto shore, and the nourishment of North Steyne after the storm event.
