Prestigious Australian Real Estate Washed Away

ONE of Byron Bay's most prestigious rows of real estate is eroding away in king tides and massive swells that continued hammering the coast last night.

Belongil Beach has copped a hammering since the start of the wild weather last Thursday, with erosion exposing car wrecks, rocks and hundreds of sandbags.

The remains of car wrecks were dumped on the beach in the 1970s in an attempt to stabilise the dunes. Yesterday two rusted bodies poked through what little sand was left on the beach.
