Clean Up Australia Day 5 March 2017
Click on the title to read more and look at the photos. The good turnout meant we could cover lots of territory, collect a couple of couches from 2nd surf beach(where they were at risk of floating off to sea) and clean up a bush hangout including the overflowing contents of a relocated council bin. We followed up the clean up with a BBQ at Birt Park thanks to John Gilliland. CPRRA is planning to hold a clean up day every year on the national Clean Up Australia day. We hope to see you there next year! See below for photos from the mornings activity.
