Above, the group that turned up at 9am. Over the morning at least twice as many filtered in and set off with bags to clean up. A bunch went down the coast in a Ute to scour the lay-bys and carparks, while another stayed on the domain and Brighton beach and gave it a thorough comb over. It was unbelievable how much rubbish there was in the bushes surrounding the domain, mostly family picnic rubbish and wrappers from confectionary bought at the shop. Andy and Jimmy painted over the graffiti in the mens toilets. The text went out to all the local primary school kids that there was free sausages and drinks if you helped with the cleanup, and the place was soon buzzing with young kids doing their bit for the community (and the free sausage).
