CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY - ROAD WATCH

Sunday 2nd March 2003 was Clean Up Australia Day. One day set aside, Australia wide, to get out and help the environment by walking along a road somewhere and collecting litter.

The Rotary Club had already decided to adopt Majors Road, a 2.2Km busy stretch along the ridge South of Adelaide, in a program called Road Watch. This service project entails clean ups about 4 times a year and what better way to start this than on CUAD. About 20 Rotarians assembled at 9.00am and starting from both ends, emu walked towards the middle. Three hours later and what was calculated to be approximately 1 tonne of rubbish Majors Road was looking a whole lot cleaner.

 

In recent years the Club has concentrated on cleanups within our home territory. The land around the train line and associated carpark South of Jetty Road, Brighton has been maintained by the members of the Club. So, if you see a group with Rotary symbols on their clothes, it will be us. Why not stop and say g'day.
