The sand dunes at Port Stephens, NSW are so big that it could easily be mistaken as a desert despite it being very close to the coast. This picture was taken on our way to a sandboarding spot deep inside the dunes. We are not sure what those pyramids are for. May be for parking camels?

Sort:  

Those pyramids at Stockton sand dunes are tank traps put in place in WW2.

Some info here on them http://www.thelongpaddock.net/stockton-beach.html

There are some under the main beachfront as well

Thanks! That's good information. Learn something new everyday! (actually I feel kind of silly now as these things actually have such a serious use). Thanks for pointing it out!
