Antarctic blast brings heavy snowfalls and huge swells to Australia’s south-east

Blizzards and hazardous swells have hit much of Australia’s southeast as the Bureau of Meteorology issued surf and wind warnings for several states on Monday.

Coastlines along the south-east have been hammered by heavy swells and an Antarctic blast brought winds with speeds up to 150km/h in Tasmania. These winds cut off power to 20,000 homes across the state. More than 3500 properties were still without electricity on Monday.
