After an enjoyable morning driving around the Sunshine Coast targeting particular caches, we made our way over to North Bribie to join the group gathering rubbish. We started out walking along the beach but it was fairly clean so we soon decided to head in amongst the greenery to hopefully find more. That turned out to be a good decision as we found plenty of different and interesting items and a few caches as a bonus.Thanks for all the organising, sorting and recording Duppers
It was good to see everyone this is my third time over on the island and each time it has been so different walking across thank you for giving me a reason to walk round the island again and catch up with everyone.
Totally exhausted from work/event in Caboolture/visiting my mum on Thursday night and my 15000 steps and 62 floors just at work on Friday.But I dragged myself to Caloundra.Who wouldnt want to compete for a car park at 3:00pm at Bulcock Beach on a Saturdee.And then when I get there it was blowing a gail, but I stuck to my plan I made with myself.I wanted to put better tethers on Big Red ,Code Clash and check on a couple of the others I got **FTF** on all those years,so got to the car park before two and did my thing. Ran into a few of the others at Sneaky Selections who happened to break the rusty ol key ring cos she was suffering from ducks disease,so I replaced that tether as well. Sooo,This was bugs maiden adventure to north Bribie by walking.How novel is that .I lived on the esplanade over at Golden Beach there a few years back and paddled the god awful current across to Bribie a few times, Have very fond memories of driving right up and around back in the 80s cos my old man and his mate wanted to catch a monster flatty at the blue hole. Saw,and picked up rubbish at all my stops today. Even was the can man for a few of the beach practitioners. Had to knight in shining armour some lost floating things for a couple of drunk lasses on inflatable paddle boards.All in all I did over 10000 steps over there today.The best thingdid mainly in bare feet,walking through the water where I could .Ended up seeing some of the older cachers after the event at the car park. Took me by surprise to see CrookedPete and seffnjarah-jeff at the showers, and some others.Picked up a bit of crap,collected a few cans,some polystyrene (coolite).RoddyC who was the minder of GZ tried to get me to disperse my collection into some buckets but I refused due to the environmental concern from the wind and the water. Trying to repair the situation,not add to it. In conclusion, I remembered how beautiful how Bribie was/is.The new easy access is a double edged swordgreat that many can enjoy the tip(just the tip),but shit to see a bit of rubbish and tents/swags of people staying over there . Great CITOFP if I could.**tips hat **
I havent been over to the tip of Bribie since well. this time last year for a CITO! My geobuddy and I might have arrived late but I still managed to collect a handful of macro plastics. While he headed off into the unknown to make a bigger dent on the islands trash, I chose to stay at GZ and chat with the CO and some others. Not normally what I would do at a rubbish collecting event but today was an exception and I was glad just to be there and participate at all. When it was time to head back to the mainland I at least helped to carry the stash back for sorting. Thank you Duppers for organising and hosting this again, you know how much I love and share your passion for the cause, particularly in our waterways and next time I will be in finer form.
Thanks for all who attended yesterday. We made a difference.Every piece of rubbish we picked up is one less piece of rubbish in the ocean or in our mangroves.
An announcement from me: If you did not physically attend this CITO, but log an "Attended" your log will be deleted. A copy of the log sheet is attached.
Ive put it in the diary. Now to see if I can make it. Hopefully I can as I live this area.
Most likely come over for a wander .I think there is a couple of caches I need to change the DT on. Should see you there.
Would love to be there, but the gummy foot is very restrictive, so sand walking and water is out of the question just yet.So, I'll have to take a rain check.
Definitely keen to be here for this one. We recently moved to Bribie and have not yet done the new walk to the island
hope you find heaps of rubbish.A year from the last CITO in this spot, Im sure theres plenty of rubbish built up again. ATLH will be there in full support of the cause again. Last year was a big success and great fun!
