Are New Zealand Beaches safe?

Some New Zealand beaches are safe but many of our surf beaches can be extremely dangerous for swimmers as they have very strong rips that can drag a swimmer out to sea.

Drowning is a major cause of accidental death in New Zealand and we lose quite a few unsuspecting tourists this way.

The West Coast beaches just out of Auckland, such as Piha, Muriwai and Karekare, are particularly notorious and kill not only swimmers but also fishermen who are often swept off the rocks by large waves. The most popular beaches are patrolled by volunteer surf life savers during the summer months. Other than rips & currents New Zealand beaches are safer than our neighbour Australia due to much fewer shark attacks, jellyfish and water snakes.

Why is beach sand not suitable for concrete designing?

Sand from a beach is contaminated with all sorts of chemicals that will cause severe deleterious reactions to a concrete paste. If we are speaking of sand from an ocean environment the salt [Chloride] content is around 4%.

Chlorides commence corrosion cell formation on embedded steel reinforcement in a matter of hours. With corrosion comes rust which expands the volume area of the steel. As the steel corrodes and expands the expansion causes a concrete to crack. When a crack becomes larger it allows even more chlorides moisture and oxygen free access to the steel which corrodes even faster. A design using beach sand is a prescription for concrete failure.

Attempts at washing a beach sand are futile. Structures built with beach sand are doomed from the day they are poured

While it was supposed to be in the Malibu Colony (residential development of the stars in Malibu California) it most likely was in Queensland Australia.

Yes, oddly enough many of the first Starter wife episodes was filmed on location in Australia. And if I were guessing.... I'd say the Sunshine Coast, possibly Noosa or Sunshine Beach. (anywhere between Coolum and Noosa along the David Low highway.) I know Queensland, just not sure where. Could be the Gold Coast down to the Tweed Coast, but if I were betting, I'd say the Sunshine Coast.

What significance to Canada from Juno Beach?

Juno Beach was significant because Canadians, against all odds, pushed farther inland and met their objective before any other troops on D-Day. Juno Beach was a very important area to control, including the cross-roads and the village of Caen. Juno Beach also restored the Canadian's morale after the massacure of Dieppe.

Canada took past experiences from Dieppe and Sicily to make this invasion a success.

Canada sustained the 2nd highest casualties on D-Day, at 1,200. The US invasion of Omaha had somewhere in the area of 2,00-2,200. So, yes, we pushed farther inland then any other unit, but we also payed for the land.
