    The last remaining sand mine on Minjerribah (worlds second largest sand island) closed in 2019. It will take a long time to rehabilitate the sand mining sites, they’ve left “scars” on the island. IIRC some locals were concerned about the loss of jobs. It will be interesting to see if this will be resumed in some form, if sand really is becoming a rare commodity.
