- Rangers and scientists in Western Australia have found an ecological 'time capsule' beneath a famous white-sand beach.
The ancient peat bog contains organic material from thousands of years ago, and could provide vital lessons for today’s changing climate.

How fantastic!! Who would have thought they would find a peat bog anywhere in Australia!! What an amazing country we live in!!!
Very interesting
The only other peat bog in Australia is in Canberra ............... Its called Parliament ............. I just wish they would turn their heads to the future ...... not to their back pockets .
12 700 yrs ago correlates with the Younger Dryas... Be interesting if there is a Younger Dryas climate record
There’s genuine excitement in that young Ranger lass’s eyes ☺️
Keep up the good work guys. This is hella interesting ☺️
If there's one there's more 🤔✌️
The Burckle Crater would have something to do with the sand covering. That happened around 5000 years ago.
what a gorgeous beach and exciting treasure.
Are there modern peat bogs in Australia? First I've heard of this.
Yes definitely! There are plenty of beat bogs in the sw of Western Australia 😊
There are vast peatlands throughout the Walpole region and greater southwest
Yes,peat bogs where I live,between Yarloop and the coast.Had an underground fire once(smoke)took a lot of water to put out.
I believe there's some down in TAS
Swan Marsh, Ecklin South Swamp and Lake Mumblin which is old volcano with peat moss edges.
South-west Victoria has the most private peats of Australia and they are all active.
It fascinates me how sea level rise and fall has changed the land. When you look at it now, it looks like it’s always been that way. Deep time is something we have no real appreciation of. Humans are the new kids on the block. As individuals, life is just a blink.
This is amazing. Keep up the great work 🎉
adapting to changes in environment was much easier for hunter gather societies, who were because of their small groupings and lifestyle highly mobile and able to adapt more readily. modern civilisations have lost that mobility and adaptability, and more importantly connectivity to the environment.
We found the same thing on a beach near Nelson in Victoria. Layers upon Layers of different leaves, plants etc.
A very interesting history of the esperence. Area.
Mona Vale Hospital is next to a peat bog on top of the cliff by the sea. It has been smouldering for ages. It has square channels in it where they cut out the peat for fuel.
Fossilised/petrified trees in the rock platform at Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. I love finding this stuff it’s amazing to look at millions of years old trees!
There are many better preserved peat bogs all over Australia
Created by one of the sea level rises between 15 and 10 000 years ago , some of which were very dramatic with native Australians trapped on some of the small islands in Bass strait according to early reports which now may have suffered destruction during the native title information purge in Melbourne in the late 1990's (book burning ).
The last date give at 7 500 may indicate there was a land lock similar to lacks at lake Tyers area in Victoria ?
some core sampling should be on the list of things to do to find its extent and time line .
This will not be popular but the tidal rises cause a lot of confrontation with migrants from the submerged lands ,to a greater or lesser extent depending on kinship the only accurate statement because of such possible conflicts is that people like us lived here with out good genetic sampling or analyses of tooling from a larger area that has a deep time , lots of work to do can't wait to read the papers .
Lincoln National Park in South Australia has a very similar landscape and geography, and camping there as a child I recall digging up stumps like this on occasion. The Barngarla are the traditional owners so maybe it's something they could look into with National Parks assistance.
Climate change, 😂.
Very arid== very dry.
!
A peat bog in Australia is mind blowing 🤯
