Sydney’s famous Icebergs Pool at Bondi Beach has been damaged after huge swells lashed the city’s beaches, damaging walkways and inundating footpaths.
Glass fencing outside the Icebergs Club was shattered, railing was damaged, and a large water tank was swept onto the beach as large waves continued to crash below the club on Wednesday morning as hazardous surf warnings remained in place for much of the NSW coast.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued hazardous surf warnings for Sydney, as well as coastline stretching as far south as Eden and as far north as Byron Bay.

Authorities are advising people avoid walking near surf-exposed areas and consider staying out of the water. Fishers are advised to avoid coastal rock platforms and seek a safe location sheltered from the surf.
