Clarence Pirie Memorial Park

Clarence Pirie Memorial Park at Capertee is looking the neatest it has in quite awhile thanks to Clean Up Australia Day and the efforts by Karl Hansen who has spent much time on whipper snipping under all of the signs, around the picnic tables, around the toilet and anywhere else the council seem find too hard to do. A phone call to the council finally managed to get the grass mowed and the park looks like somewhere you would feel comfortable to stop once again.
Thanks Karl

Clean up Day Australia / Capertee!

Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday March 4th rolled around with clear blue skies and the sun beating down!
A nice change from all of the rain.


It was disappointing to see that only three people turned up to participate in the day, although we did expect smaller numbers due to the rain and flooding.
Karl Hansen worked tirelessly collecting rubbish and recycling from the road quarry on Lithgow side of town all the way to Tim Dickson Close on the Mudgee side.
Benita and Liliah Dolbel concentrated on the Clarence Pirie Memorial Park and opposite.
In total 12 bags of garbage and recycling were collected. At approximately 20 kilos per bag that is a whopping 240kgs!


Another day will be planned in the future to give Pearson's Lookout a quick tidy up as rubbish has once again started to line the highway at the entrance.


A big thanks to Karl Hansen for organising Clean Up Australia day, and for working so hard on towards keeping our beautiful area- Beautiful.

And down comes the rain!
