What a FANTASTIC Beach Clean Up!

Turtle CartoonThanks to our amazing friends at Bribie Island Boat Charters we had a very different and exciting Bribie Beach Clean Up!

Robyn and Brendon contacted me late last night to offer us a free boat to help us clean up the rubbish not only on the Beach but on the water as well!

We might have only been a small team today, but boy did we have FUN!  We even had some wonderful new volunteers Kylie, Rosie and Tom, all the way from Glasshouse!  It always amazes me how many wonderful people I get to connect with over the internet and Facebook.  I even had a reporter visit me on the same day from Up Beat Down Stream Magazine!

We collected over 25 kilos of rubbish!  There was only 9 of us all up, so I think we did a great job.

Huge Thank you once again for everyone coming along.  Always nice to meet new people and as it was hot, Wildlife Emergency even shouted everyone a cold can of soft drink so at the end of the hour we could sit down and have a chat.

2015 is going to be a fantastic year with our very own ZOO RUN and Bribie Gone Wild Wildlife Festival happening here on the island.  The funds raised from these events will go towards a Wildlife Education Centre on Bribie and to Queensland Zoo’s charity of FREE THE BEARS.  Helping to save the beautiful Sun Bears.

Stay tuned it is going to be a AWESOME year!
