Above: Measuring a beach facet at Hurlstone Pint. NOTE: The harder Quartzite Rocks of Hurlstone Point form a headland which sticks out at the end of the bay (in the East), which acts as a natural barrier, preventing lomgsore drift from ocurring further and building up the height of the beach. |
Above: Measuring Beach Facets at Hurlstone Point- Note rounded pebbles. These facets are much larger as is the size of the beach |
