  2. Went to BH yesterday and then again
    today for a surf
    Man, the swell really jumped last
    night and the amount of sand
    shifted between the 2 days is incredible!
    Any of you locals remember it looking this way before?
    In my 3yrs here Ive seen the sand
    retreat season to season
    Just interested how/what it used to look like - guess its a cyclic thing...but man, so impressive
    the changes it goes thru

  3. Yes, its looking pretty washed out, i took a photo today of it, will add to this post soon, and perhaps do a retro post of sand build up and erosion at blackhead, I've been documenting it for years, but never posted about it.

  4. Yeah do it!
    I walk the dog there heaps
    and just get blown away
    by how much it changes day to day
    week to week
    month to month etc etc
    some awesome forces involved
    Saw the big digger getting dropped
    off at the tennis courts by Kilda
    for some erosion repairs by
    the looks of things

  5. Hi a group of us from the University of Otago are making a short film on 'the effects of the blackhead mine on the environment and local people'. Would any of you be interested in being interviewed either audio or auido and video (whatever you are comfortable with. Your viewpoints would be greatly appreciated, and will help to raise awareness on the issue. please reply here or contact Julia at julz.gonebeach@gmail.com or Mark at mtclemo@gmail.com
    cheers
