Where is Hawai
Who is Hawai?There is a good chance that noticing where you are, especially on the NAWI shore, they are nodding and confirming that Waikiki was constructed in the 50's, 60's or 70's with Aussie sands and the best sands came from their sands. Some other native, probably tanged and eviscerated Mahagony, will tell you that they went to Waikiki in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s and the natives there said that the beaches were made of Aussie sands.
All of them tell a similar story: So, I got the feline history and that about how on all college campsites there is a myth that involves a mystical edifice that is not on the card but accommodates classified goverment records or laboratories. Then Pete from Port Kembla told me that the Port Kembla Dune was enormous until it was dug in the 1970s and the sands were sent to Waikiki.
I' ve already listened to this tale, but not about Port Kembla. Have we sent the sands to Waikiki? Sands from all these places, any of these places or none of these places, landed in Hawaii? First of all, it is the truth that Waikiki is a technical sandy area. They' re both at the University of Hawaii:
He is Waikiki beach managment coordinator and holds a professorship in Earth Physics and Geoology at the School of Ocean and Earth Science. Where the Hilton is today, in the latter part of the nineteenth centuary, there was a small sandy stripe of marshlands. Dredged with rocks and stones from an excavation in front of the shore.
If they wanted to start a tourism business, the need to construct a sandy beaches was known to them. So, yes, Waikiki was made with sands from elsewhere. Sands from Los Angeles. At Manhattan Beach, California, there is a commemorative tablet reminiscent of the export of their sands. Sands from China.
Only 20 years ago two barge boats came which were destined for a sandy area not far from Waikiki. However, most of the sands on Waikiki and other technical Hawaiian sandy shores come from, well, Hawaii. Of dunes, of other isles and of Waikiki itself, from the underwater foreland directly in front of the shore.
In the last ten years Waikiki has been fed several meals. Today, food from off-shore pumps comes from ashore. OK, so there are no records or studies in Hawaii suggesting that sands ever came from Australia. "Sadly for Pete and other people in Port Kembla who say they saw the Waikiki affair in the papers - they did not.
There' is no history that has been made public in a large domestic or regional newspaper that proves this is so. There' s nothing in the council's notes indicating that there was anything other than a small amount of clay in the area. Kemblaunes are shrinking, but that's what the dunes do.
After all, they're made of clay. Sands are not just sands. Two major kinds of sands are used: silica and sands. NAWI has silica, Hawaii needs char. There' s no indication of silica sands on Waikiki. We' ve actually exported Australia's sands to Hawaii. It was used to construct racecourses and hotel buildings.
It'?s not to make Waikiki. Hawaii was extravagant and modern in the 1960s and 1970s. The Hawaiians loved to play songs, make their own clothes and eat. We saw Hawaii Five O on TV. One of the better Elvis movies was shot there. During the 1970s, the history of Waikiki Bay having to be rebuilt was known worldwide.
It' s not hard to see how we would make the coastal jest that "the Yankees need some decent Yinkum Sands. That includes our sands. Only if the Americans had used it to make something as wonderful and contemporary as Waikiki could our sands have been the best.
