Come and help to clean up rubbish along the creeks and trails, followed by a social morning tea.
Meet: We’ll meet here at the bus shelter next to Winters Flat Footbridge, Johnstone Street (Midland Highway), Castlemaine, and then spread out to various locations to gather rubbish and return to Winters Flat.
Early Start: We’ll start early (8:00 am) to avoid the heat of the day and finish work at 10:00 am.
We’ll provide: collection bags (courtesy of Clean-up Australia), rubbish skip (courtesy of the Council), and tea/coffee and biscuits.
Wear: hats, gloves, sturdy clothing, enclosed boots/shoes.
Bring sun protection, a rake if you have one, your own water (and a friend).
Hope to see you there!
