ADOPT A ROAD

Our club has “adopted” a 3km section of Creek Road, from Gallipoli Road/Donnington St in Carindale to Fursden Road in Carina. Four times a year, members don hi-vis vests, gloves, hats, sunscreen, and protective footwear, and venture out at 7am to pick up rubbish from the footpaths and grass verges on both sides of the road.  

Next cleanup:  July-August 2022 date TBA
