Sand Dunes

Port Stephens is home to amazing sand dunes that are constantly moving and evolving. The sand here is incredibly fine and you might have seen it before--they mine the sand here for the sparkling white beaches of Hawaii!

Tin City, a "tin shack" city with squatter rights, is where parts of the original Star Wars I was filmed. It's a collection of about 6 tin shacks--but don't let the outsides fool you, the insides are apparently comfy with cable and all!




Sand Sledding/Surfing! It's STEEP! 40 degree angle, at least!


Chocolate colored water -- the wind causes such great sand turbulence that the water turns a murky brown a few days of the year.
