A large section of an Australian beach has fallen suddenly into the ocean due to erosion.

The landslip, up to 300m wide, took place at Inskip Point in Queensland.

It is the third incident of its kind in the area in recent years. In 2015, one swallowed a caravan, tents and a car.

Officials said no campers or property had been affected by the latest event. They urged people to avoid the area.

Officials described it as "near‑shore landslip".

In 2015, about 140 people were evacuated after a 200m‑wide landslip had claimed part of a campground nearby. No‑one was injured.

After that incident, Queensland reviewed the stability of the peninsula and set up exclusion zones around areas deemed to be at risk of erosion.
