Clean up removes 300kg of rubbish from waterways

Community groups around the Coast came together on Clean Up Australia Day, to ensure the waterways of the Peninsula got a clean-up.

The 1st Woy Woy Sea Scouts, Gosford SES, the Take3 program and residents of Woy Woy, came together to clean-up island waterways on March 6.

More than 100 volunteers turned up at 1st Woy Woy Sea Scouts Hall and set out on a flotilla of canoes, kayaks and powerboats to clean the Woy Woy Peninsula.

They remove 300kg of rubbish from Pelican Island, Rileys Island, Woy Woy Bay and underneath the Spike Milligan Bridge.

This was the 1st Woy Woy Sea Scouts largest Clean Up Australia Day.
