Whilst in Sawtell, a southerly buster sped through dropping the temperatures from about 36C to just 22C. For British readers, this means a cold front ripped through bringing strong winds and rain (mainly overnight). And the wind turned from the north to the south (the direction of Antarctica).
Yesterday (Tuesday 1 December), the strong winds led to a 2-3 metre swell and we walked along the beach to the nearby headland to see the waves crashing over the rocks. It was very picturesque, as the accompanying pictures show. We could have watched scene for hours!

Your reference to a sudden temperature drop reminded me that once, when driving home from Plymouth (Devon) to Glastonbury (Somerset) the temperature dropped 10 degrees in only one mile. I watched it on the car exterior temperature gauge. That was exceptional and I have never witnessed anything like it since.
