No doubt - from reading the `Hobsons Bay Friends Groups conservation activities calendar', you will be aware that Sunday 5th March is `Clean-up Australia Day.'
Folkc will be participating and will be operating near the NTD 2017 site at the `Urban Forest' cnr Grieve Pde & Blackshaws Rd Altona North.
We will meet at the car park in Blackshaws Rd at 10:00am and will walk to the area where the rubbish is to be collected, along the old bitumen road leading under Grieve Pde and then along the Melb Water maintenance track running alongside Kororoit Creek.
All welcome - please remember to wear suitable clothing & footwear and bring a pair of cloves.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the day. Geoff.
The Melbourne Water crushed rock access track has been completed between Burgess Street drain and McArthurs Road in Altona North giving the community a walking trail between McArthurs Road and Blackshaws Road. Several falls in this area were the direct result of not having a proper path, Len for one has had a couple of falls here when out bird watching.
