From the wildlife to the scenic views, there are so many wondrous sights to behold in Australia. This includes K’gari Island, which is so beautiful, it’s listed as a World Heritage site. On this island, you will find crystal-clear water and marvelous sand cliffs. It’s no wonder, then, that so many tourists come here for a visit. Many times, they will even camp there for the night. But activities on a certain area of this popular beach in Australia were recently put on pause thanks to this impressive sinkhole.
The sinkhole was produced by a “near-shore landslide.” The result? Terrifying and awe-worthy at the same time. As scary as this moment appears, authorities do say that this is a common occurrence at K’gari’s Inskip Point. In fact, a similar sinkhole appeared in about the same area in 2015. At that time, the sinkhole was about the size of a football field. Hard to imagine, right? Well, you can watch footage of this most recent sinkhole in the video below.

When a Sinkhole in Australia Chips Away at Popular Tourist Spot, Everyone is Left in Awe
It’s wild to see the way this massive beach so easily deteriorates from the sinkhole. Needless to say, the people who managed to witness this event in person were said to be “stunned” by what was happening in front of their very eyes.
Moments like this are an incredible reminder that nature is just as unpredictable as it is beautiful.
“The earth is alive and forever changing. Cool to see,” someone points out in the comment section of the video, with another adding, “Can you imagine the earth is a living breathing thing that actually changes…. Wow…”
