FUN FACT - "Hyams Beach or Jervis Bay, NSW, DO NOT have world's whitest sand according to the Guinness World Records." It's a claim that has been published repeatedly for decades. The Sydney Morning Herald refers to it as far back as 1987. And now, every few months, a major news publisher (including this one) or someone on social media picks up that tag and runs with it. No questions asked. The only problem is, it's not true. The tiny coastal town in New South Wales, near Jervis Bay, has become a victim of fake news and its own popularity. Home to only 100 people, the population swells into the thousands over the summer as tourists flock to this seaside village to see the "world's whitest sand" and take the perfect Instagram shot. Sure, it's white - whiter than the sand at Bondi and St Kilda. But it's not the world's whitest - Hyams Beach is not even home to Australia's whitest sand. And to further debunk the myth, the Guinness World Records doesn't even have a "world's whitest sand" category. So, where is the whitest beach? It started as an afternoon banter over beers for Noel Schoknecht, soil scientist and former chairman of the National Committee on Soil and Terrain, to find the country's whitest beach. A term of reference was then drafted and samples taken from beaches across the country. The samples had to be taken from the swash zone (the gently sloping area between the water and the dunes) and they could not be treated in any way apart from air-drying. The winning beach was Lucky Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park on Western Australia's south coast. Followed by Hellfire Bay in WA, Tallebudgera Beach in Queensland, Whitehaven Beach in Queensland, Squeaky Beach in Victoria, Boat Harbour Beach in Tasmania, Hyams Beach in New South Wales, and Bromby Island in Northern Territory.

Magical. How I would have loved to have been there just sitting and taking in the experience. Thank you for sharing.

So relaxing. Beautiful photography. Thank you❤

Just beautiful. The sound of the birds brings joy to my heart. Am so pleased this place is protected. Keep it so Australia. ❤

Adding this to my travel bucket list! Beautiful island!

Díky! I remember the beginning 10 years ago. Even back then they were great, several minute videos. Nowadays, they're like BBC documentaries. I believe Phil will become a famous documentary maker, like Sir David Attenborough.

Absolutely incredible footage! Such a magical place!

No music, no voiceover, quiet camera. Meraviglioso.

🌹⭐💙👏🌞🌳🦜

Thank you! It is sacred and beautiful. ❤❤❤

Gorgeous! Shows the rock has “nooks & crannies” close up. I’ve only seen photos of the rock in the distance, looking solid. Thanks!

10/10! Great job!

Wonderful

Uluru is a truly magical place ❤

So beautiful! ❤

This is true Divinity.

I really really enjoyed watching this documentary. Thank you! As as someone who’s interested in filmmaking, did you produced this documentary alone or are more people involved, because this documentary is really top-notch

Something about Uluru makes me feel like it'd speak to me if I gave it a hug.

Now I can see how the striations got vertical instead of horizontally.Cool. I like watching any extreme change in the Earth's patterns. In Vegas, we had flash flooding. When you see the line of water coming, get out of the way. It takes 2-3 inches of water to sweep a person off of their feet. I've had to wait 5 hours for a ride across the street. Awesome video. Thank You

Uluru bathing, feels wonderful 💜🌈🌏🌹

Was there in 93, looks great in rain, but if always like that it would look like a mound of vegetation.

Amazing footage. No distracting music, and no preening in front of the lens yourself. Good stuff😊

Sehr schön von Anfang an, so sind Naturfilme heute sehenswert, es gibt leider viele stümperhafte YT per unterwegs. Weiter so 👍

How awesome God created everything. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this .

Stunning! Water on stone….eternal magic… expertly captured. Gratitude! ❤

Stunningly beautiful

That is so cool...nicely photographed

If you only know it from pictures or videos, you tend to not realize that this thing is more than 1000ft high.

Beautiful balm for a bruised soul. Thank you so much for posting this.

Stunning.

No music and no commentary, bliss.

🙌💜✨️🕉✨️💜🙌

So so beautiful.

Who cares.... Most Australian's aren't allowed near the thing anymore. It's just a rock.

Wow, well done, best video of Uluru I’ve ever seen

Mesmerising! This is the best video I’ve seen of Uluru. Thank you so much.

Lovely! Thank you.

Beautiful and majestic ... it calmed me down and I really felt this magic! Thank you so much!
