摘要：

Postglacial changes of sea level in Australia have been the subject of considerable debate. The lack of morphological and stratigraphical evidence for Recent (Holocene) higher sea levels in eastern Australia (New South Wales and Queensland) is supported by the radiocarbon dating of eight freshwater peats which outcrop on beaches close to high-water mark (H.W.M.). These dates range from 2,985 to 4,730 years ago (mean 3,625). Together with several older wood dates from in situ stumps below H.W.M. and 14C assays of shells from buried tidal flat environments, they fail to indicate that sea level rose above its present position between 2,985 and at least 9,000 B.P. © 1969.
