Yep there has been lots or discussion on the radio about the beach sand pumping to half moon bay, the sand used has been described as road base compaction grit similiar in colour ,to the yellow brickies sand which when placed against the existing white soft sand Will be a little out of place ,over $500,000 spent seems alot of money to spend when the beach was perfect anyway I guess that's where experts at the various government dept's show their wisdom I think it will be a hotly discussed topic over the next few weeks amongst council and residents

Nah PT, thought the human cartoon chap was a marine biologist this morning as when i looked around he had departed the sup and was conducting some sort of study underwater?

Anyone know how to get video off a Foxtel IQ box and onto Seabreeze?

Actually, a quick and dirty way is;

1) Set an iPhone to Movie mode
2) Re-play "PT Woody" on TV, and record on iPhone
3) Email the short movie to yourself
4) Upload short movie onto Youtube or similar.

Jinx!! YOu both said the same thing at the same time!!

sorry I couldn't resist

^ It's because Mac & I are 2 peas in a pod!

the news tonight has suggested the "new beach work" at half moon bay Black Rock has been suspended immediately until test are conducted on the new sand/orange quarry soil for contaminants, one report said traces of arsenic has been found.
The tonnes and tonnes of sand has been brought from a quarry in gippsland somewhere and now cover the once perfect beach and half the public car park.
Whilst the concept of beach expansion may have credit, I wonder whose idea it was to truck in 100 b double plus trailor full of orange quarry soil.
I saw some young families on the beach the other day, the kids skin, clothes and towels were all orange in colour, similiar to brickies sand.
Its turning into a public outcry not seen since the inception of um er ar SUP boards....

So in the meantime what happens? Giant mounds of it on the beach while "they" make up their minds? Trucks full were still queueing in the top carpark late this arvo.

The argument from DSE for using the coarse quarry sand was that "...it's heavier and less likely to be washed away..."

It's sad and also kind of ironic to see an essentially green department bugger up the environment like this. Checking the quality of the sand and making sure it doesn't have poison in it seems to be a pretty necessary precaution, especially when you're dealing with what amounts to a children's playground.
