Another long abandoned campsite in the Corrimal beach sand dunes cleared last weekend in our regular clean up (yeah, this one took a little more than an hour). Sure to be a sad story behind it.

Last week we conducted two clean-ups, Thursday was a local clean-up at the Corrimal ANZAC Grove Memorial Park where 3.5 full bags were collected, plus fencing, a large tarp and other assorted items. We went to Corrimal Beach for our Saturday clean-up. The morning started with a bit of rain, but it cleared away quickly for a nice day and lots of rubbish collected. This week we have a Thursday clean-up at Primbee and a Saturday clean-up at Bellambi Lagoon. Dilys, the numbers person, told me that we have collected over 60 large bags of rubbish so far this year, as well as lots of other items too big to fit into bags - well done team, great effort.

60 trees for 60 years On Friday, 23rd October the Rotary Club of Corrimal undertook a small tree and shrub planting project at Cawley Park, Russell Vale. As part of our 60th year celebrations we decided to help the planet by planting trees, shrubs, or groundcovers. 8 members of the club and 2 council employees enjoyed planting 3 cabbage tree palms and about 145 native shrubs & grasses.

Hi Tea Wow, a great day at our annual Hi Tea. Very well attended, lots of fun and food had by all. The final fund raising count will be near $5000. And as usual at Corrimal we were very careful that the day had minimal waste - including selling the leftovers, less waste more money :-)

Australia Day BBQ Out came the Corrimal Rotary caravan and many members to serve up hundreds of BBQ sandwiches to those enjoying the day. The caravan is provisioned to be using as least plastic as possible and as usual a good check for rubbish around the site when we packed up. See the video in our feed.
