Yet another near-shore landslide has appeared at Inskip Point, in the location where barges were loading vehicles to go to Fraser Island.
Wayne Dean took the photo as he watched the landslide appear just after cars and passengers passed through the area near Rainbow Beach.
The instability event has occurred over decades, with the most memorable landslide taking large and expensive items and swallowing them into the ocean.
On 26 September 2015, a nearshore landslide occurred within the north facing beachfront at Inskip Point, eventually regressing to a camping ground and engulfing a four-wheel drive vehicle, a caravan and a camper trailer.
The nearshore landslide occurred late in the evening and was in the form of a retrogressive which gradually increased in size over several hours, eventually forming an arc shaped scarp over 200m wide.
To avoid this mishap from reoccurring, Queensland’s Parks and Wildlife Service rangers are currently monitoring the area, with visitors being advised to stay away from the impacted site.
