🌧️Have you captured this week's winter storm? We want to see it!

Winter is well and truly here, and what a better way to make an entrance than having wild winds, cold temperatures and pouring rain. High tides have thrashed the coastline, flooding beaches and testing the strength of the jetties.

Did you capture the weather event? Send your photos to [email protected] for a chance to be included in the paper. Please include location details.
