I recently discovered your website about Woorim Beach and was very pleased to read about what's going on there. We were residents of North Street in 2004 and still feel attached to the place. So it was a pleasure to see our fond place again, albeit online only and from a distance.
We were reading with great happiness about your performance in the Clean Beach Challenge as this issue was always very important to us when we were staying there. During the year we were staying there we went to the beach daily (which wasn't too difficult as it simply was just across the road) and never came back with less than a carrier bag full of rubbish we found there. We seldom had to bring our own carrier bag as you usually could find one on the beach without too much effort. We literally collected heaps of scrap, mainly between the beach access Rickman Parade or 7th Avenue and the 4x4 access track, the area around the bunkers being the worst. When we drove onto the beach we found lots of rubbish around the lagoons, after one occasion half our truck was filled with scrap so that I had to drive to the rubbish plant at Ningi as it was simply too much for our bin at home. Sometimes there were even rather dangerous or disgusting objects to be found, such as glass splinters, fishing hooks and used condoms, which was a bit of a worry since our children got in the habit as well and were keen beach waste removers. You don't want to have them grabbing a fishing hook, do you? It is disgusting how such a nice area can be spoilt by careless visitors. Therefore it is good to see someone is carrying on our work after we have left. Good on ya', mates!

Well, thanks for your website, keep up the good work and we are looking forward to read more about Woorim Beach! Best wishes and, before I forget, a Happy New Year to you on Bribie!
