Latest Update: Bribie Island Breakthroughs into Pumicestone Passage It's now confirmed—the Council plans to spend around 20 million dollars to fill the two breaches with "SAND"!!!???. The crucial question now remains: What’s going to hold the sand in place? This is a staggering amount of ratepayers’ money being invested in an environment dominated by tides, waves, wind, and constantly shifting sands. If trees couldn’t prevent erosion and the sandbanks shift daily, how will this approach hold up? A simple drone flight at low tide captures the sand’s pattern—but return two days later, and the sand landscape has already changed. In these latest drone images, the former site of the Lions Park hut is completely underwater, with all vegetation gone. The relentless waves continue smashing into the remaining trees, tearing off branches that gather at their bases—only to be repeatedly driven into the trunks by the ocean’s force. Based on this footage and previous observations, it’s only a matter of time before these trees disappear too. With higher king tides and waves coming, once these trees are gone, we’ll see what the ocean decides next - good, bad, or too late.
