Sand makes its way to the Spit

THE first grains of sand have started spilling on to Mooloolaba Spit along Australia’s Sunshine Coast from a new pipeline that will deliver about 10,000 cubic metres of sand over the next two months. The beach replenishment program is part of a series of measures aimed at saving the severely eroded Spit. Other steps include dune stabilisation and construction of a geotextile sandbag wall.
