What a wonderful way to finish another year of planting at Regatta Parklands. A happy, large group of volunteers made short work of the 1000 plants ready to be placed in the ground. Thankyou all for your positivity. You have all given back to your community and improved our local environment.
We finished the day with another delicious morning tea provided by Steven Gill .
The power of the malteser cupcakes cannot be overestimated!
Thankyou also to Mark Boothman MP, Theodore . Your commitment to supporting the plantings is really appreciated.
Today was our last day under the supervision of Dan from the City of Gold Coast . It has been a pleasure working with you Dan on many plantings.
We will be back next year to continue our work.

This is something new for us and is an exciting initiative.

The proposal is that there will be two additional planting days at a site which is new to us – Gladrose Crescent at Wongawallan.

This is a picturesque portion of the creek just upstream of Audreys Crossing Bridge.

The planting is open to ourselves and our neighbours at Albert Landcare.

Planting dates are : Saturday 24th October, 2026

Saturday 20th March 2027

Planting times : 8.30 – 10am

If you are interested please let me know so that I can let Marcello know of the level of interest.

I have attached the email in full so that you can also register online.

Kind regards

Steven

Lots of river news today! This is a five year old Youtube clip showing the stabilization of the Coomera River Foreshore. This project has been so successful it is now being extended into the area near our current plantings. Very interesting way to protect our river.

This is a fantastic announcement regarding McCoys Creek. This creek is where we participate in the annual Clean Up Australia Day organized by one of our members Chris. I haven't been able to locate a map yet showing the protected area. McCoys Creek runs into the Pimpama River. Looking after our natural areas.
