History

The Yeagerup Dunes are shifting dunes, about 10kms long. Apparently the ‘shifting’ dunes were noticed as early as the 1930s. Conservator T N Stoate was concerned about sand dunes moving and recommended a marram grass planting exercise. This was done in 1937 and 1938 by groups of sustenance workers, with little or no success.
