Clean Up Australia Day 2018
Adeline Morrissey sent this post for CCA’s website: The event on Sunday 4th March went really well and we had over 30 volunteers attend. We started at Grant Marine Park and volunteers picked up rubbish from the beach, dunes, parks, roadsides, verge gardens and even the ocean floor between Cottesloe and Swanbourne. A total of 13 massive garbage bags were filled with litter.

Mudurup Rocks is a special place on the Cottesloe coast. Its rocks tell of changing sea levels over thousands of years – as recently as 7000 years ago you could walk to Rottnest. For the Indigenous people it was a special fishing place – “the place of the yellow-finned whiting”.
