Clean Up Australia Day

I know this is a bit late....still! I got to tell you, I've lived in Australia for longer than "Clean Up Australia" day has been running and I'm ashamed to say that this year was the first time I took part in it.
Our church is wanting to be more involved in serving our community in a practical sort of way, so we thought this would be a good way to do that!


















Mind you, the place we chose, didn't need much cleaning up. All we found were a few cigarette butts and a few popped balloons and lolly wrappers. But, the kids were all excited, not sure why? maybe it was because for the first time they were not being told off for touching rubbish? :) or maybe it was the gloves? :)




















The whole thing was very well organised and there was even a lunch bbq put on by Clean Up Australia day for all the volunteers which we unfortunately couldn't attend.
It was a fun day out! I think we'll be doing it again next year for sure!

I've always thought this looked fun as well, but it is always on a Sunday - or around here is is, and we don't 'do' Sundays!!

Fun photos!

Hi Rosemary,
Our clean up Australia days are also on Sundays, and our church isn't involved, so it has to be church or cleaning up - church wins. :)

What a clever and inspired church you belong to! :D

Have a wonderful weekend,
Blessings,
Jillian ♥
