$2 Million Damage As Boats Washed Ashore At Callala

Wednesday, 06 June 2012 07:09

Boat washed up onto shore

There is a scene of mass devastation at Callala Bay this morning with almost a dozen boats washed ashore in last night's wild storm. leaving a damage bill which could top the $2 million mark.

Boats were tossed on top of each other as they broke their moorings, and driven on to rocks and the beach front.

Several of the boats have ended up a near by creek.

Local Sue Borrowdale says salvage experts have a huge job ahead of them, and says the storm was even worse than the last major event 27 years ago.

Instead the trees, which arborists say will not last more than 10 years, will stay for the time being, and work on the project has been deferred until October, after the completion of Tulip Time. Work on the upgrade was due to start earlier this... Read more

Highlands Police Youth Club Step Closer

A PCYC in the Wingecarribee could become a reality in the next 12 months if the project is accepted by the State Government and the heads of PCYC.
