我要评论A large chunk of an Australian beach has fallen into the ocean, in another incident of its kind in recent years. 。
On Monday morning, approximately 200 to 300 metres (218 to 328 yards) of beach at south-east Queensland's Inskip Point eroded into the ocean, leaving a gap in the coast which reaches to the tree line. 。

Rainbow Beach Helicopters posted aerial images and video of the erosion on Facebook. 。
A Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service spokesperson said it was likely the erosion was caused "by the undermining of part of the shoreline by tidal flow, waves and currents." 。

"In technical terms, such an event is better called a 'nearshore landslip' than a 'sinkhole.'"。
Back in late-2015, another erosion event in the same area swallowed vehicles and tents in a campsite, leading to an evacuation of the site. Further erosion occurred a few months later in 2016, but didn't affect the campsite. 。
No members of the public have been injured, or have had property or campsites affected by the most recent event. 。
University of the Sunshine Coast associate lecturer in Earth Sciences, Peter Davies, told ABC News the event will "almost certainly happen again." 。
"We could see another one in 12 months, or we could see one in a few years," he told the news outlet. 。
"All we can say with any certainty is that it's an inherent unstable area and will do this periodically." 。
