Looks like New Zealand prevented most of the tsunami hitting NSW. Went down to the beach, camera at the ready, waiting for a once in a lifetime event, but nothing. Mind you, Sydney is a bit of a tsunami capital. A big earthquake on the western side of NZ would send a tsunami straight for Sydney with only a couple of hours warning. Do note, it takes a bit of "moving and shaking" to get 12,000 foot high mountains. We live 65metres above sea level here in Bondi, so it has to be a whopper to get us, but there is no escaping nature. Down at Bondi beach, I did notice the surfers still out there(useless waves) and a number of people wandering around the shore, probably oblivious to potential danger.
If you are down at the beach, and the water mysteriously recedes......POQ . If animals go funny, they still have their 6th sense, beware.
