High risk areas have been fenced off and visitors to the popular and stunning campgrounds have been told to stay well away from the landslide. See the photos and video:
A new sinkhole has swallowed part of a popular camping spot on the Queensland coast.
Near shore landslides can be a spectacular sight but are usually short-lived, with most coastal landslides replenishing quickly, a QPWS spokesperson said.
The area of the latest landslide occurred near a barge landing area and is not near Inskip camping areas. QPWS has no plans to close camping areas in the Inskip region.

Landslips are common in the Inskip area.
Following a previous landslip event at Inskip, QPWS engaged a geotechnical engineer to study the area and provide safety advice.
QPWS implemented the safety recommendations, which included the use of fencing and restricting camping within a certain areas identified as high risk.
