[QUOTE="boobook, post: 522607, member: 1605"] Today, mineral sands deposits are being mined across the inland from the Broken Hill region then west across the Nullabor. In the 1950's /60's the beaches north of Newcastle to and beyond the Qld. border were a nearly continuous line of beach sand miners of which Iluka Minerals is one survivor. In some places, the huge dredge holes left behind are declared "natural lakes" by NPWS. History soon forgotten and changed to suit today. mike [/QUOTE]
