New Year's Eve 1947 proved to be memorable for hundreds of bathers on Manly Beach. According to the Sydney Morning Herald of 1 January 1948, a freak wave 20 feet high swept right up the beach as far as the Steyne promenade, and as it receded the clothes and towels of all the bathers on the beach were carried out to sea. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
