[QUOTE="RottenRon, post: 65150, member: 174"] Hi guys, I'm really buoyed by the fact that there is so much interest in a clean up. Even more so by those individuals going it alone so to speak. Love you work guys. If you're near the Ballarat area though, you may as well throw you hat in the ring for my proposal. My suggestions on the dangerous dumped materials, asbestos etc. is, please leave it where it is. Draw a mud map, get GPS location if you can, take a few photos, and we'll see which Gov. department might clean it up. I dare say the EPA will take an interest in the illegal dumping if nothing else. If you decide to pick it up on your own, the risks far out way the benefits, plus, no ordinary tip will take it. I spoke to Rita Bentley (PMAV El President-ay) this arvo, and we chatted about my proposal for a "Clean Up A Creek" event or program. We will be meeting at the Australian Gold Panning Championships at Blackwood on 9.00 am Sunday 23rd March, (this Sunday). Her initial reaction was that she welcomed the idea. So now I'm back to my original request. I know some of you have expressed an interest in this thread, but please do me a favour. If you are at all interested in participating, have worthwhile ideas (many have been mentioned in this thread already), media connections or can contribute in any way, please drop me a PM. A worthwhile council connection may help with tip fees. Media, may help with positive publicity. Trailer hire would be handy for easy to get to areas. Skip bins? Bulka bags? Gar bag? Bring you tools for cleaning up undercut banks, holes etc. Hell, if State Parks can be brought on board, we might even be able to help with weed / blackberry spraying if anyone has the necessary skills and qualifications if required. An email address and phone number along with your real name might help, otherwise I can PM you here if you really want to remain anonymous. I will knock up an Excel spread sheet with names, details and suggestions, something to mull over at a future meeting, whether it's with PMAV or our own or both, rather than try and collect every ones suggestions on the night or whatever. This way we can get a start straight up, hopefully. If you're going to Blackwood this Sunday, I'll be the old grey wiskery dude with the Black cap and orange shirt, just to help you find me. If it's rainin, I'll be in me "dry as a bone". I'll have a pen and note book handy. Cheers, Ron. [/QUOTE]
