Wednesday night we all met at the local park to participate in "Clean Up Australia". The object of this exercise is to try to beautify our local area. Somehow  I think someone might have beaten us to our "site". Usually we collect lots of rubbish and, in the past, some very unusual items such as bed stands, car parts, tyres etc. This year the most unusual item we found was a rusty old lock and a tub of half eaten, very melted ice cream!

Maybe the community are finally learning not to dump their rubbish in the bush (I hope this was the case!) and are disposing of their waste in a responsible manner. Our girls could not believe the lack of garbage to be collected. After a one and a half search we eventually gave up and played some games as the twilight set in. I'd like to send a huge thank you to all the girls who turned up, gloves in hand, ready to beautify our already beautiful suburb.

Don't forget that next week is Service night..... we will be cooking morning tea for the residents at Emmaus Retirement Village to eat the next day. I hope the residents enjoy our efforts and that  no-one decides to make toffee!

Have a great week everyone!
