Dr Sanja van Huet is a geologist who specialises in sand dunes, swamp and riverine environments.
This walk will investigate the dune systems along the Point Lonsdale coastline. We will look at dune formation, history and fragility. Sanya will briefly expore how climate is and will continue to affect the Bellarine coast and possible methods to slow the process.
Be prepared to walk for about 4kms. If you park at Fellows Road and carpool to the Lighthouse with others you will shorten the length of the walk.
Proceeds from this walk will be donated to the Australian Conservation Foundation Community Geelong.
