So I found out. It proves one thing, I have to get out, go and have a look. There must have been mobs of concrete trucks up that beach to build Teewah . I bet they have a story to tell. LG.

Just think of it as doing their bit about ocean "acidification" which is BS of course as it is really alkalinity reduction.

The components of

concrete

are Portland

Cement

, rock (aggregates), and water. Portland

Cement

is the “binding” component in

concrete

and has a pH approaching 11, which is very

alkaline

. If you remember your high school chemistry, neutral pH is 7. Above 7 is

alkaline

, and below 7 is

acidic

.

PS don't tell any scientists or they will start dumping concrete in the ocean at every opportunity.
