King Tide

[khiemtran]

Our ferry trip to Bundeena coincided with a King tide. Here are some before and after shots.

First, the public baths at Gunnamatta beach. See how high those posts are!



Next, the Cronulla Sailing Club. Looks like someone's trimaran wasn't meant to be in the water.



The other side of the sailing club.



And the ferry office. Again, that broken dinghy was probably meant to be above the waterline.

I've never heard the term "king tide" before; I had to look it up.

A 1.8m tidal range isn't very impressive by global standards, but it certainly had an impact in Sydney. There was flooding all along the local rivers and even the boat shed we went to last week had its cafe inundated.

I love the last low-tide photo, revealing all the … snails? whelks? mussels? … on the concrete step. (Also yeah, that poor trimaran!)

Yes, I'm sure the local seabirds would have been very happy to see that!
