A sudden taste of winterVisitors enjoying the show at Blowhole Point

The sudden cold snap has brought snow to nearby Robertson and Burrawang, and massive seas to the coast.


Bureau of Meteorology has issued wind and hazardous surf warnings. Storm Force wind warnings are in place for the Hunter, Sydney, Illawarra, Batemans and Eden Coasts tomorrow with southwesterly winds forecast to reach up to 50 knots (92km/h) offshore.



At noon, the wind was recorded at Bombo at 58km/h, with many tourists at Blowhole Point struggling to keep their balance while watching the Blowhole put on a show given a five metre swell.

The search for the fisherman, missing for four days from off Blowhole Point, continued yesterday despite the deteriorating conditions.


Marine Rescue NSW and Water Police have searched from Bombo south to the Shoalhaven River, going as far as 12 nautical miles off the coast without success.
