KEEPING OUR RIVER CLEAN

 

The Werribee River is one of the regions best kept secrets. The river meanders through the suburbs and township of Werribee before heading to the sea at Werribee South. Tracks have been constructed along the banks of the river to enable walkers and cyclists to enjoy the serenity and beauty of the environment which is a haven for wildlife, particularly many species of birds.

 

However, the waterway suffers from an accumulation of unsightly rubbish. Fortunately, the Rotary Club of Werribee, in conjunction with numerous like-minded people in the community, have joined forces to remove as much of the rubbish as possible.

 

Various working bees have been conducted. The latest project was to clean up an area of the river adjacent to the main shopping precinct. This was the third cleanup day conducted during this year. Another two are planned for the Wyndham Harbour area and the Point Cook Marine Park before the end of the year.
