Corrigin Sand Blow
Corrigin Sand Blow, Fraser Island, Queensland, Limited Edition Fine Art Metal Print From Australia
Corrigin Sand Blow is situated just in land from Cathedral Beach Fraser Island, Queensland Australia.
Sand blows are major sand formations, the effects of wind and weather move sand inland in the ocean. The Corrigin sandblow is situated around 1.5 km inland from Cathedral Beach. This sand dune is around twenty metres high and also provides a demanding climb to the top.
Fraser Island is an island located along the southern coast of Queensland, Australia, approximately 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Brisbane. Its length is about 120 kilometres (75 mi) and its width is approximately 24 kilometres (15 mi).[1] It was inscribed as a World Heritage site in 1992.[2] The island is considered to be the largest sand island in the world at 1840 km.[3] It is also Queensland's largest island, Australia's sixth largest island and the largest island on the East Coast of Australia.
The region features tropical rain forests, eucalyptus woodlands, mangrove forests, wallum and peat swamps, sand dunes and coastal heaths. It really is comprised of sand which has been accumulating for about 750,000 years on volcanic bedrock that can offer a healthy catchment to the sediment and that is carried on a powerful ocean going current northwards on the coast. As opposed to a number of sand dunes, vegetation is considerable mainly because of the naturally occurring mycorrhizal fungi contained in the sand, which usually discharge nutrients in a form that can be absorbed through the plants.[4] Fraser Island boasts a few mammal species,[5] and a unique collection of birds, reptiles and amphibians, such as occasional saltwater crocodile. This island belongs to the Fraser Coast Region and guarded inside the Great Sandy National Park.
