K’gari Fraser Island is paradise on earth, or rather it was until it was recently trashed by the rubbish washing up from as far south as Ipswich and Brisbane. We urgently need to help to keep the clean up on K’gari Fraser Island going. This world heritage listed national park is a national treasure and we have been out since 11th March cleaning up the beach with the community. We have collected 10 TONNES already and the rubbish just keeps on coming. Each high tide brings more with it. From thousands of ice coffee bottles and chocolate wrappers to water tanks and wheelie bins. The volume of rubbish is unlike anything we have seen before in a our 5 years of cleaning on K’gari Fraser Island. The absolute legends at K’gari Fraser Island Adventures are heading up the logistics on the ground. If you are local-ish, you can find all the information you need to know about volunteering here - https://www.kgarifraserisland.com.au/fraser-island-beach-clean-up/ Donate a little or a lot, every cent helps and will be spent directly on logistics to keep the volunteers coming!

Another great day! The community around K´gari have been coming together to clean up the mess left on the beaches after the Brisbane flouds. Yesterday we had 55 volunteers cleaning up 1500kg! and today we have another 40 people arriving by bus to sweep a 20km stretch. Stay tuned!

9 days in and we are still going! Thanks to all the amazing volunteers who have answered our call for help the beach is looking better but there is still so much to be done. Thank you for all the support so far, it is so wonderful to know so many people care about keeping our environment free from plastic pollution.
