Local community group Marrickville Mudcrabs have organized a clean-up event along the Cooks River at Marrickville Golf Course.
- Saturday, 12th May 2012
- 9am – 12MD. Everyone is welcome.
All equipment, gloves, bags & grabbers will be provided, as well as morning tea. Meet in the small reserve at the bottom of Alfred Street, off Beauchamp Street Marrickville. Wear sensible shoes & a hat & bring some water to drink.
Plastic bottles & other material floating down the Cooks River – it’s always sad to see this.

this is a great idea and i would love to participate but unfortunately i am committed to a market stall this weekend. i hope it is great weather and a successful (fun? at least morning tea will be nice, despite the ickkiness of picking up other people’s garbage!) event. good luck!

Good on you Mudcrabs for organising this.
I do wish however, that people would just clean up after themselves.
I doubt their homes are left in disarray, yet some people think nothing of leaving rubbish everywhere or tossing it in the river rather than walking to a bin.
