Lateral stability of central Australian longitudinal dunes
Some authors consider that linear dunes migrate laterally on a grand scale, much as rivers move across floodplains. Others have concluded that lateral movement is limited in time and space. During the phase of dune initiation, small ribbons of sand formed in the lee of obstacles merge and coalesce to form recognisable linear dunes. Repeat observations demonstrate that mature sand ridges change position laterally a few metres either way within clo…
The Lochiel Landslip in 2010 and the Significance of Reinforcement Mechanisms
The Lochiel Landslip was initiated in August 1974. It was the result of heavy winter rains, but was facilitated by the occurrence of hydrophilic clay interbedded with the quartzitic country rock. Monitoring has shown that whereas most of the minor features within the mass movement have been degraded and subdued, the headwall region remains active. The backing bluff that defines the tension scar has receded between 5 and 10 m during the last decad…
The age of the palaeodunefield of the northern Murray Basin in South Australia
Commentary
Though most information presented in tourist signage is sound, some is not only severely flawed, but also unethical in that false claims are made, language is ambiguous, interpretations are irrational and explanations are confused and even internally contradictory. One site which illustrates these weaknesses is considered in some detail, as are efforts to have the signage corrected. The most effective way of ensuring the best possible result is f…
