A vast and - in places - cavernous sand quarry. It's quite surreal. You reach out to touch what appears to be "rock" and it turns to fine sand in your hand.

This shot a large res one, so you can see the scale... in the background, Oxs, my host.

Barbecue on the edge of the quarry. Sausages and chicken. Yummy.

A memorial "stone"... made from the very fine sand, in one of the largest caverns.
