Monday 4 July 2022 08:48 AM Reverse waterfalls appear at Royal National Park, south of Sydney, amid wild ... trends now
The severe weather lashing New South Wales' coast has triggered an incredible natural phenomenon, with the wild winds forcing waterfalls to move in the opposite direction.
Water was seen flying over the top of the cliffs of the Royal National Park, south of Sydney, on Monday as wind gusts reached 39km/hour.
In a phenomenon known as reverse waterfalls, photos show white sprays of water being spit into the air as the waves crash against the rocks below.
Similar movement of the water was seen two years ago at the same spot.

It comes after a bout of wild weather, which saw Sydney cop 148.6mm of rain during the last four days.
Weatherzone meteorologist Ben Domensino said this brought the city's annual total rainfall to 1696mm - 'its wettest year-to-date in records dating back to 1859'.
'This year's cumulative rainfall up to July 4 is 127mm higher than the previous record of 1569mm from 1890,' he tweeted.
The Bureau of Meteorology is meanwhile investigating whether a tornado or a waterspout caused widespread damage south of Sydney on Sunday morning.
