Показать описание
Most years the Nullaki (Wilson Inlet) sandbar is manually opened to the ocean to prevent flooding of low-lying land.

In 2021, the sandbar was opened on Monday 21 June. The water level was just under 1.5m AHD (1.3m above sea level).

Due to deep channel formation, ongoing river flow and ocean conditions, the channel between the inlet and the ocean did not close over summer.

This is the first time on record that the channel remained open for the entire year.

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has captured the state of the sandbar over the last year using a drone.

Watch the timeline from 21 June 2021 to 1 September 2022 in this video.
