About 50 committed Lake Monger lovers cleared mountains of rocks, bricks and rubble from most of the lake's shoreline along Lake Monger Drive. This will prevent further infected injury to the black swans feet.
Young and old, locals as well as those from further afar. One family came from Forrestfield. Some dropped in for an hour or so; others stayed the duration. It is amazing what we can achieve together!
Afterwards we celebrated our achievement with a BBQ.
