Summary

Another person got trapped in sinking sand at Glenelg North, same spot as a recent rescue—Sarah Darbyshire was walking her dog when both she and her pup started sinking up to her waist. Panicked but determined, she fought her way out, calling it an “Indiana Jones moment” and later realized she’d captured the ordeal on camera. She’s now warning others, especially kids, about the hidden danger created by annual sand carting meant to protect the coast. The Department for Environment and Water says signs are posted, but the incident underscores how even familiar beaches can hide deadly surprises beneath the surface.
