At the beginning of the social action project I was feeling as though I was lost, unsure of what I was going to do for the community. I was trying to tie it into some sort of interest of mine. I had been to the beach in the few days prior and had remembered the amount of rubbish we had been seeing on the beach as well as along the footpath. In turn I decided on cleaning up from South Burleigh to North Burleigh. There was quite an amount of planning that was involved with this. Once I had definitively decided, I had to go through ‘Clean Up Australia Day’ completing there sign up and safety requirements, then planning starting and finishing spots, bus drop off and pickup locations, swimming activity after clean up, as well as Silkwoods ‘duty of care and safety’ forms for excursions. Overall, Myself along side the participants enjoyed the activities and had a good day. We walked from South Burleigh to Miami Rock cleaning up along the sand and footpath. Afterwards we got lunch and went for a swim in the beach. We collected a rough total of 2 rubbish bags worth.
