A documentary of the June 2007 storm in Newcastle, NSW, Australia that caused major flooding & grounded the bulk carrier the "Pasha Bulker" onto Nobbys Beach
This is the story of the June Long Weekend storm ... the voices are yours and the images are the ones that you shared with us....
As the weather continued to whip across the region with not only damaging winds, but rain, hail and, at the top of the valley, snow there were continual reports of buildings, trees, electricity lines and roads that were severely damaged, evacuations and rising water levels in most areas

Title: 1233 ABC Newcastle presents a June to remember [videorecording]
Also Titled: June to remember
Published: Newcastle, N.S.W. : 1233 ABC Newcastle, [2008]
Description: 1 videodisc (DVD) (ca. 48 mins.) : sd., col. ; 4 3/4 in.
Summary: In the lead up to the June long weekend in 2007, most people in Newcastle were looking forward to a few days off work. What eventuated was far from a relaxing long weekend. On the June long weekend in 2007 two low pressure cells brought gale force winds that battered Newcastle and caused fatal flash flooding. Massive seas and cyclonic winds pushed the coal freighter Pasha Bulker aground on Nobbys Beach while the region was left stunned by widespread storm damage worth an estimated billion dollars. Nine people died and hundreds of people were forced out of their homes because of flooding and storm damage. For three days, 1233 continued an around-the-clock emergency broadcast. This coverage was only possible thanks to dedicated staff and passionate listeners. This is the story of the June long weekend storm. The voices are yours and the images are the ones you shared with us.
