Lake Clean-up Day is ON AGAIN!

The clean-up day is planned for Sunday the 18th of October at 900 am followed by a free sausage sizzle around 1200pm. If you cannot make the clean-up feel free to catch up with your neighbours at the BBQ afterwards.
The meeting place will be in Morialta Park off Wild Duck Drive. Location marked X in the map below. See the events tab on the website for full details.
See you there!

But seriously… Intrepid: an adjective for fearless, adventurous and humourous.
Intrepid Landcare: an outreaching branch of Landcare that brings adventure, fun and diversity to the movement while engaging young Australians.
Gold Coast Intrepid Landcare: carving futures on the Gold Coast.
“Once upon a time – in March 2015 – an inspiring bunch of local youth got together to dream up a better future for Landcare on the Gold Coast.
This lead to the establishment of Gold Coast Intrepid Landcare. To connect Gold Coast youth to the Landcare movement and inspire generations of change makers” – co-founder leaders, Paula van Breda and Juliet Saltmarsh.
