Port Beach

The dunes started from Port Beach and went down as far as Windang. Some of the dones went to Hawai, while others were harvested for routile. I can remember playing on the sandhills during my chilldhood. My friends and I used cardboard-boxes to slide down the sand-dunes. The dunes were totally removed in the 1960s; I don't know how the authorities got away with it.👺
