Information

Ancient sand lay buried deep beneath these wind-blown dunes of oceanic sand have presently been revealed.
For more than 700,000 years, the wind and water have eroded the quartz sand out of the dunes revealing their soft, ochre-coloured cores.
The earthly hues visible today are the leached and weathered remains of this slow geologic process. Another one of the features of the island that secured its world heritage listing in 1992.
