A spectacular waterspout on Monday appeared off the east coast of Australia, creating a twisting pillar of water hundreds of meters high.
The waterspout was seen off the coast of Avoca Beach, north of Sydney, and produced a funnel of cloud and water.
Up to three other waterspouts were reportedly seen along the same coast at nearly the same time.
