  1. I didn’t see it hit the person but i was on the ferry going to tea gardens passing hawks nest and saw the lightning bolt but couldn’t see because of the trees. It was very loud and made the whole boat shake. When i was eating lunch about 2 police cars and 3 ambos were at there fastest heading towards that direaction. Everyone was confused and was wondering what had happened!
