Ditji Beach (NT 16) is a curving, west-facing 4.1 km long sand beach, bordered by low red bluffs and rock flats, and cut by two small tidal creeks (Fig. 5.5). The entire beach impounds a 250 ha largely infilled tidal creek. A continuous 150 m wide low gradient intertidal bar fronts the beach, while it is backed by low vegetated foredune north of the main creek. South of the creek the dune is active and has blown 500 m inland and to a height of 10 m. A vehicle track reaches the back of the dunes. These dunes represent the first active dune transgression since the Berkeley River 150 km to the west in Western Australia. The northern end of the beach terminates at a low bluff and rock flats, on the northern side of which is 400 m long beach NT 17. read more
