Wild weather hits the Mollymook – Ulladulla area.
Rainfall in the past 24 hours to mid-day Saturday July 2 was in excess of 200mm with the worst predicted for tomorrow Sunday with further falls through to Tuesday. Was it intuition or fore-knowledge of heavy rainfall that caused a few wise ocean swimmers to get away and have a holiday?
