CLEAN FUN: Jessica Ray and the Sandy Bay Rotary group cleaning the beach around lower Sandy Bay. Picture: KIM EISZELE
WITH clear skies and the warm sun shining down on them, it felt more like a casual day at the beach for some Clean Up Australia Day volunteers yesterday.
Rotaract Club Of Sandy Bay members Andrew Carlyle, Jessica Ray, Hayley Saltmarsh and Catherine Carlyle were four of almost 21,000 Tasmanians who joined an estimated 550,000 people nationally to clear rubbish from our parks, beaches, waterways and streets.
More than 590 tonnes of rubbish was collected from 269 sites around the state.
Clean Up Australia Day started in 1990 and since then an estimated 288,650 tonnes of rubbish removed across the country.
The young Rotaract volunteers picked up everything from plastic bottles to cigarette butts and even broken sunglasses at Long Beach, Sandy Bay, but were pleased to see the environmental message of the day seemed to be getting through.
"It's actually not been too bad here there hasn't been a heap of rubbish which is good to see really," Mr Carlyle said.
"And thankfully it's been a nice day too which makes it all the easier and more enjoyable for us."
