All that’s left of caravan claimed by quicksand or sinkhole.
A huge sinkhole bigger than a football field and several metres deep suddenly opened up at a popular camping spot near Rainbow Beach in Queensland, Australia overnight, swallowing a car, caravan and truck instantly.
Around 200 people were quickly evacuated from the site, with others on standby. It is believed no-one has been injured.
One fisherman said he heard noises, and turned around to see the ground opening up, while another man raced back to the campsite to watch in horror as his car and caravan disappeared into the sinkhole.
Several people managed to get their cars and caravans out seconds before the sinkhole claimed them.
Over the past few months, the area has been the focus of a cluster of earthquakes, with one at 5.3 on the Richter scale in July one of the biggest in Queensland’s history.
