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 positioned 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 tropical island offers rainforests, eucalyptus wood land, mangrove forests, wallum and peat swamps, sand dunes and coastal heaths. It can be comprised of sand that has been accumulating for as much as 750,000 years on volcanic bedrock that delivers an all natural catchment for the sediment that's carried on a solid offshore current northwards along the coast. Contrary to a large number of sand dunes, plants is abundant due to the naturally sourced mycorrhizal fungi available in the sand, which in turn generate nutrients in a form that might be absorbed through the plants.[4] Fraser Island contains only a few mammal species,[5] and a diverse range of birds, reptiles and amphibians, like the occasional saltwater crocodile. This tropical isle is part of the Fraser Coast Region and guarded with the Great Sandy National Park.
