Wollongong in New South Wales]

mark, car-size blocks of rock lifted over 100-metre-high cliffs, and

produced by a body 6 kilometers across falling into the middle of the
Pacific, or a much smaller rock landing closer to Australia's coast.
By carbon dating some of the shells found inland, Bryant and his team
say they have found evidence for at least six tsunami events. Two of

were powerful enough to swamp headlands 130 metres above sea level.
