WAMBERAL, AUSTRALIA - Homes perched on Australia's stunning eastern coast were at risk of being swept away Tuesday , after days of driving rain, high winds and monster swells smashed the coastline.

Erosion has long posed a threat in the seaside town of Wamberal, destroying homes in the 1970s and again washing away huge swathes of the beachfront from properties in 2016. Before the winter storms, residents of Wamberal had been campaigning for coastal protections to be built. Ms Margaret Brice - one of the few people to have remained to brave the latest weather - said the episode was"devastating" and"nerve-racking."

The Central Coast Council said in a statement on its website that a Sydney-based company had been appointed in May to prepare concept plans for a protection structure at Wamberal while further planning of the coastal management was ongoing.
