Kayakers remove 20 big bags of rubbish from island in Lake Illawarra
Kayakers from Illawarra Ramblers spent the morning of July 17 cleaning up rubbish around the foreshore of Lake Illawarra’s Gooseberry Island as part of Plastic Free July. A 12-strong crew of Ramblers volunteered for the clean-up, held as part of the annual Plastic Free July, a global event in which millions of people help to rid our streets, communities and oceans of rubbish by participating in community clean-ups and pledges to reduce/eliminate single-use plastic.
