‘I’ve never seen it like this before’: erosion and debris force closure of Byron Bay beach

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “‘I’ve never seen it like this before’: erosion and debris force closure of Byron Bay beach” – below is their description.

High tides and debris have inundated the main beach of the northern New South Wales tourist town of Byron Bay. The debris was so thick that lifesavers were forced to shut the beach as they were not able to get the rescue equipment on to the sand. ‘Over the years we’ve seen of course the sand does come and go’, said Byron Bay surf lifesaver Greg Clark. ‘But I’ve never seen it like this before, not in my lifetime.’ Emergency sandbagging has begun, extending a sandbag wall that was installed last year
