Ridiculous if they actually drove down that! BTW, it's apparently Lucky Bay in Australia.

Edit: I'll just paste the whole link. There are lots of cool photos.

That dune is steep and I wouldn't like to have to drive down it, but of course it is nowhere near as steep as it appears in the photo. Sand just doesn't get that steep.

A telephoto lens has that effect.
