Tag: Yeagarup Dunes

Grand sands (#41 in series: dunes, devouring forest & wetlands)

 

20 kilometres southwest of Pemberton, in southwestern WA’s “Karri country”, the Yeagarup Dunes cover circa 30 square kilometres.

They are the Southern Hemisphere’s largest mobile, land-locked dune system.

The Yeagarup Dunes are currently advancing inland at circa 4 metres per year.

This post’s photos were taken from the top of their “hungry” edge, on 27 October 2016.

Warren River mouth (#1 in “Deep South WA meets Southern Ocean” series)

 

The featured image (all photos copyright Doug Spencer, 27 October 2016) was taken from Yeagarup Beach, circa 30 kilometres from Pemberton.

The Southern Ocean’s shore was just behind me, as I gazed across the Warren River’s lowermost section.

To get there, we had driven through some of Australia’s most beautiful “virgin” tall Eucalypt forest, then crossed the Southern Hemispere’s largest land-locked mobile dune system.
