29 bags, one TV and small power poll

Sunday 2nd March CleanUP Australia
Thanks to coordinator Kerstie Olsson we had a record turn out of approximately 60 volunteers (which included two Scout groups) and collected twenty-nine bags of rubbish (half recycling), a large TV, several pieces of wooden furniture and a small power pole from the top of the mountain, the walking tracks and down the road.

The main issue was broken glass, fast food wrappers and dumping large rubbish.

Rainbow Lorikeet emerging from nest hollow
Not a lot of rubbish but we did see a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets Trichoglossus haematodus emerge from a nest hollow, a pair of Galahs Eolophus roseicapillus as well as butterflies and bugs.
