Types of erosion. Soil erosion is a widespread problem in rural and urban Queensland. If we want to save our soils, we need to understand the different types of erosion that can occur. Water erosion. Queenslandâs high intensity summer rainfalls represent a significant risk of erosion by water.
What is a Lagoon? Lagoons are shallow coastal bodies of water separated from the ocean by a series of barrier islands which lie parallel to the shoreline. Inlets, either natural or man-made, cut through barrier islands and permit tidal currents to transport water into and out of the lagoons.
Luminous Lagoon. The Luminous Lagoon is home to one of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the world. The lagoon is home to billions of microscopic organisms which glow an iridescent blue / green colour when the water is disturbed. Boats run continuously from the Glistening Waters restaurant after dark. Just turn up and wait for the next boat to arrive to take you on the half hour tour.
