Someone sharing some proper info instead of just saying "WhY Do ThIs, ItS jUsT gOnNa GeT wAsHeD aWaY"

What did they use to dig it in the 1920s?

A shovel.

Austrailia doesnt get winter -- whens the last time that ocean froze over ? - NEVER -- they have 2 seasons not 4 -- they have warm and hot

6 seasons actually in the south west and actually the number of people from cold countries that i have heard complain that it gets cold here is quite a few

This comment nearly made me tear up. I'm nearly 50.

Интересно, сколько времени у него ушло, чтобы уговорить местные власти осуществить свою мечту?

I was thinking the same thing. What an awesome job, if I was still a kid

and he is paid to do so!!

Hope your enjoying your new Queen we supplied 😉

@@indyrock8148 Well .. we really do. She is so down to earth kind and engaged. And her danish is amazing - you did a good job down under ;)

@peterjrgensen2792 we are very proud of her. It's a hard job and she is doing it well.

Here DownUnder we name our places and streets that bring us good memories. 👍

It's actually a surname of a friend of Thomas Braidwood Wilson who was a naval doctor (said friend was the physician of the fleet and his mentor) when Britain made the first trips there in the late 1800's and into the start of the 1900's and has nothing to do with your Denmark, it wasn't uncommon at all to have a surname like that back then.

Thanks mate

Ohhhhh, first I thought Denmark the country, and then I saw Albany and thought maybe New York. I haven't figured out yet why this is being done. I'm sure there's a reason, but all I see so far is the destruction of a beautiful beach.

Yeah it's in the description

@@lindastent-campbell5130 fun? How is this "destruction of a beautiful beach"? When a kid builds a sandcastle do you also see that as "destruction of a beautiful beach"? Or if a dog digs a hole...also "destruction"? Only difference is scale.

And they all get paid with taxpayer money, to stand around doing nothing.

One working and dozend just watching whatever is what our modern society became. It allowed for home office which is just that …

Same here in America lol

11 vehicles

As being a Southern neighbor in Lübeck i was confused as well by how the countryside, coast and ocean looks and there was sometging with Albany as well 😂

Me to I thought it might have been thyborøn channel they were clearing out or something.

Me too :)

Our hands as excavator buckets …

@@StrzalaOstryPazur I knew there had to be others out there.. 🚜👍

@@jezcoates 100% .. with the appropriate digging and machine noises. 😅👍

Guilty as well, Used to use PVC pipes in my dams to be able to control the flow with pipe plugs.

I was just thinking the same

this! i was having some catharsis then wham! whats going on ?

They have tried leaving the sandbar to do its thing, but it just caused problems. Even when the inlet is close to flooding, the sandbar won't open up.

why not have a guy whit a shovel? seen loads of videos of doing that

So your a sand trench expert?!!,.....been done like this for 100 years ,but some millenial knows better im sure, in your never, neverland mind anyway😂!!?

No actually it was usually done historically by creating extremely small funnels and letting the water do the rest but I hear u there is no problem with him digging a little extra​@@slotripper

A man gotta do what he can to feed the family

@@samcriisfree4432 Exactly, Ross vlog creations does a small trench with a spade in a few hours and the water flowing out washes the trench sand out to sea.

​​@@slotripperbet a mellinial was the the operator of that excavator. You do realize that mellinials are about 40 years old now. But yeah kids they are. 🤪

LOLOL We're only doing what guys have done for years while looking through the fences into a construction site and putting in their 2 cents worth of sage advice.

For laughs I tried to put some math into the idea of people shoveling it out in a big dig-fest. If you assume 8 shovel scoops per ft³ its 216 a yard. Even numbers, 200 scoops per yard, a 2 yard bucket is 400 and if he's keeping an average of 4 scoops a minute thats 1600 shovels per minute. Say a person will average 2 a minute when you figure they're not keeping a non-stop pace, so 800 people digging at all times and they all have to eat, drink, use the bathroom, get there, get organized, manage not to get hurt in unstable sand digging a 4 foot deep trench with no boxes. Seems totally reasonable, much cheaper than a few guys supervising an operator and a couple of surveyors....

Sorry 8000. Missed a zero.

It ain't exactly rocket science...

That person is my father, he is wonderful

Favorite word is „create“, thanks for sharing this.

It does, I went fishing down here years ago and the winter rains used to break through it maybe they’ve had a bad year rain wise. But regardless, this should be left to nature to sort out because these cycles are normal. The snapper grow up in there and when it breaks they are met by the sharks on the other side, meanwhile it’s great fishing before this happens.

It does open by itself, but the level in which it would naturally open up would flood too much land upstream so they open it up earlier.

Thanks to professional equipment such as excavators, the freshwater canal was completed, which was amazing

Tannins in water I believe so yes you're correct

because the excavator was rented and the operator payed full up front, so they said "make it 2 shovels wide!"

Maybe you tell those guys with the degrees and the experience of doing it on a semi-annual basis. I'm sure they'll realize the error of their ways and hold digapalooza next year. A few man buns with beach toys and it'll be open in mere minutes. There's no way that a 25 ton machine can beat some groms with sand toys.

Rich people affected.

Maybe because they know what they’re doing?

Qld you can

Because letting one person do it is fine, letting everyone do it leads to cholera.

Before they did that dig they 100% did a extensive repot of why its neeeded, tidal range energy input can help ecosystems alot. The brown water is i assume cus of the lack of oxygen.

@shoreface I nearly missed this altogether! How? Well these videos are put out on the WORLDWIDE web and if you want folk to watch them ....... Even 'WA' in the title would've helped. I've only been to that area a few times and it was a long time ago. I had no idea that this was done, never mind every year! Most interesting.

I am no Oceanologist, but I believe this has to do with wave and tidal actions from the Ocean bringing up and depositing sand at the inlet. One of the sources for an estuary is rainfall and runoff from uphill which will vary over the seasons, during the dry seasons the estuary would have low or no outflow. Because there is low outflow wave and tidal actions are able to wash sand ashore and nothing pushes it back out to sea. Big storms coming ashore also contribute with their winds blowing the water and sand toward land. Over the seasons a bar is created and the bodies of water separate. Sand bars will breach on their own given enough time, usually during a shore side flooding event, but in this case since there is Human infrastructure near flooding intervention was needed. As for the bright blue beach returning, it would vary based on the factors contributing the sand bar in the first place, or how low the estuary empties during the breaching process. Probably a week or two. Once the estuary lowers and the outflow slows enough the brown water would dissipate into the blue water to the point where you'd never notice it. If I were part of the decision making team, I would time this draining to begin a few days before an unusually low tide so that the estuary empties as much as possible, but also does not entirely back fill with sea water. This would give the Ocean a good head start on building another sand bar that would likely last several years. For what it is worth the brown color mostly comes from decaying plant materials in the water, it is ugly but completely harmless (except for the inevitable Human environmental runoff). Not really brief, but I have a habit of turning as many stones as possible. Hopefully this helps.

@@aland7236 outstanding response and info mate. Thankyou.

@@lonewolf6364 With pleasure my friend.

It is dug when some farmland around the inlet becomes flooded. The large reduction in the annual rainfall in the south west of Oz means it doesn’t get the large volumes rushing into the estuary to create a natural break. It has recently remained opened over a year due to Denmark and surrounds receiving their old average rainfall in 2023 for the first time in many years

Yep, marginal flooding of land can just be seen in some of the aerial shots of the estuary. It would have been interesting if the video maker had pointed that flooded land out with captions and told us the difference in the impounded estuary water level and the tide levels before the bar was breached.

Ослоеп, я в гугле и сам перевести могу.. Токо вот то что перевел мне гугли получился более читабельно нежели эта уйня что тут напереведено

I was thinking it might have been to slow down the erosion of the bar and that’s why they mentioned the breach in the sand wall

He was being paid by the yard....

Erosion.

The brown water is fresh, but brackish and brown from peat. It's cheaper, by far, to send out an excavator once a year than it is to build some kind of permanent structure, and structures require maintenance on a regular basis, which is even more expensive.

@@r.awilliams9815 ok thanks. i was just concerned about the risk of losing a $100k machine and/ or salt damage

That's what I stayed to see !

Tannin water. Look it up.
